Coperni Stages a Live LAN Party Runway at Paris Fashion Week
March 10, 2025 – Paris Fashion Week, Coperni LAN Party
Coperni staged a fashion show inside a gaming tournament, turning the Adidas Arena into a 90s-style LAN party for its Fall-Winter 2025-2026 collection. 200 players, joined by Bilal Hassani, Léna Situations, and Ice Spice, faced off in a multiplayer showdown as models walked between gaming stations.
“We wanted to celebrate gaming and LAN parties—where people come together instead of playing alone at home,” said Arnaud Vaillant. It’s the latest in Coperni’s spectacle-driven shows, following last season’s Disneyland Paris takeover and the viral spray-on dress with Bella Hadid in 2023

The collection pulls directly from gaming aesthetics. A black slit dress mirrors Resident Evil’s heroine. Bodysuits under oversized parkas, utility tights with mini satchels—pure Lara Croft. Pleated schoolgirl uniforms nod to Japanese gaming and manga, while a red quilted bustier dress takes inspiration from the sleeping bags gamers crash in after all-night sessions.

Coperni’s Digital Evolution Continues
Since relaunching in 2019, Sébastien Meyer and Arnaud Vaillant have made Coperni synonymous with technology and fashion spectacle. They build viral experiences for the runway.
Their spray-on dress at SS23, applied live onto Bella Hadid, became an instant cultural phenomenon. The robotic dogs of FW23 blurred the line between fashion and AI. Last September, they staged a show inside Ircam, the legendary research center for sound experimentation.
The choice of Adidas Arena, built for the Paris 2024 Olympics, expresses Coperni’s fascination with movement and competition. The brand sees fashion as a performance of tech and digital culture.
While gaming has evolved into a billion-dollar industry, the spirit of LAN parties belongs to a time when the Internet felt wild and unfiltered. A time when every pixel, every modded game, and every home-rigged network felt like a rebellion against the limits of technology.
Coperni’s runway resurrects that lost energy, placing the gaming subculture of the past into the hyperconnected reality of today.
