Au revoir.
Celeb-loved French fashion label Coperni will cease operations after 13 years in business following financial turmoil and a shareholding dispute, the company announced.
The trendy brand was known for dressing some of the biggest names in fashion and Hollywood, including Kylie Jenner, Rihanna, and Gigi Hadid.
Founded in Paris in 2013, Coperni was known for its celebrity support and viral runway moments.
In October 2024, Kylie Jenner closed out the brand’s Spring/Summer 2025 fashion show, in a stunning black gown, giving the brand a major boost.
During her first pregnancy in March 2022, Rihanna wore a shimmering silver two-piece by Coperni, showing off her baby bump. The same year, Doja Cat donned a light-blue Coperni dress to the Grammy Awards.
Co-founders and creative directors Arnaud Vaillant and Sébastien Meyer said the company will close after failing to reach an agreement with Tomorrow Ltd. their main distributor and majority shareholder.
“Over the past few months, we have tried to preserve Coperni and find a resolution to the conflict with our shareholder and distributor, Tomorrow,” the founders said in an Instagram announcement.
“Despite all our efforts, no solution could be found. It is with profound sadness that we announce today that Coperni SAS is ceasing operations.”
The announcement follows the cancellation of the brand’s Fall/Winter 2026 fashion show at Paris Fashion Week earlier this year.
After Tomorrow Ltd. was acquired by luxury fashion e-commerce company Progetto 11 in March, Meyer and Valliant attempted to buy back the company and bring it under their control.
The company filed for a court-supervised restructuring process in French court earlier this year, which allowed it to continue operating through their dispute with Tomorrow Ltd, Modaes reported.
Coperni received three separate acquisition offers in October, one which valued the company at around $448,000, though none of the offers ended in a deal.
The once-buzzy brand has seen a painful decline in sales in recent years. From 2023 to 2025, Coperni’s global sales fell from $16.8 million to $11.2 million. In the same period, its operating income fell from a profit of $785,000 to a loss of more than $336,000.
