Coperni has always given priority to the sun, to daylight, to clear and distinct ideas. But with the sun cometh the night. She shows the world differently—guiding us as always but also urging us into a new time; a time to welcome the unpredictable. Whether it’s mid-night or midday, the night is our window to see what is possible.

The Coperni La Nuit AW 2021 Show included filming of seventy participants departing from their homes in 35 electric cars. Each vehicle navigated through the streets of Paris before arriving in the great hall of the Accord Arena in Bercy, the 12th arrondissement of the City of Light. The cars and their passengers moved into the darkness of the empty hall—enough space for over 20,000 people in pre-Covid times.
