Started in 2013, the prize was launched to champion standout talent and foster their labels. Winning means getting a seal of approval from a jury of fashion\u2019s foremost designers and industry professionals like Nicolas Ghesquiere, Marc Jacobs, Karl Lagerfeld, and LVMH\u2019s own Delphine Arnault. Aside from being recognized by the industry, the winner receives a 300,000 euro grant and a year&#8217;s worth of expert support from the foundation. Of course, success in the industry for these designers isn\u2019t reliant on winning, but it certainly sets the stage.<\/p>\n<p>Presenting Models.com\u2019s exclusive week-long spotlight on each of the designers in anticipation of their final presentation at the Fondation Louis Vuitton in Paris and the announcement of the winner on May 22nd.\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"separ\"><\/div>\n<p>The LVMH 8<\/p>\n<div class=\"parts\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/models.com\/mdx\/the-lvmh-8-pt-1-arthur-arbesser\/\">Pt.1<br \/>Arthur Arbesser<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"parts active\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/models.com\/mdx\/lvmh-coperni-femme\/\">Pt.2<br \/>Coperni<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"parts\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/models.com\/mdx\/the-lvmh-8-pt-3-faustine-steinmetz\/\">Pt.3<br \/>Faustine Steinmetz<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"parts\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/models.com\/mdx\/the-lvmh-8-pt-4-jacquemus\/\">Pt.4<br \/>Jacquemus<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"parts\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/models.com\/mdx\/the-lvmh-8-pt-5-marques-almeida\/\">Pt.5<br \/>Marques&#8217;Almeida<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"parts\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/models.com\/mdx\/the-lvmh-8-pt-6-off-white\/\">Pt.6<br \/>Off-White<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"parts\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/models.com\/mdx\/the-lvmh-8-pt-7-vetements\/\">Pt.7<br \/>Vetements<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"parts\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/models.com\/mdx\/the-lvmh-8-pt-8-craig-green\/\">Pt.8<br \/>Craig Green<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"separ\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"introtitle\"><a href=\"https:\/\/models.com\/mdx\/lvmh-coperni-femme\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Coperni Femme<\/a><\/div>\n<div id=\"introcredits\">\nSeries editors: Irene Ojo-Felix and Steven Yatsko<br \/>\nPhotography: Steven Yatsko for Models.com<br \/>\nStylist: <a href='https:\/\/models.com\/people\/william-graper'>William Graper<\/a> @ The Wall Group<br \/>\nArt Direction: <a href='https:\/\/models.com\/people\/stephan-moskovic'>Stephan Moskovic<\/a><br \/>\nHair: <a href='https:\/\/models.com\/people\/takayoshi-tsukisawa'>Takayoshi Tsukisawa<\/a><br \/>\nMakeup: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kimweber.com\/\">Kim Weber<\/a><br \/>\nProduction: <a href='https:\/\/models.com\/people\/jazmin-alvarez'>Jazmin Alvarez<\/a><br \/>\nPhoto assistant: Jason Acton<br \/>\nManicurist: Natalie Pavloski @ <a href='https:\/\/models.com\/agency\/lmc-worldwide'>LMC Worldwide<\/a><br \/>\nShoes: Martiniano<br \/>\nPortrait courtesy of the designer<\/p>\n<p>Text by Steven Yatsko<\/p>\n<p>Models:<br \/>\n<a href='https:\/\/models.com\/models\/irina-shnitman'>Irina Shnitman<\/a> \/ <a href='https:\/\/models.com\/agency\/IMG'>IMG<\/a><br \/>\n<a href='https:\/\/models.com\/models\/mona-matsuoka'>Mona Matsuoka<\/a> \/ <a href='https:\/\/models.com\/agency\/IMG'>IMG<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"portrait\">\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2015\/05\/CoperniPortrait640.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"484\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-39589\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2015\/05\/CoperniPortrait640.jpg 640w, https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2015\/05\/CoperniPortrait640-200x151.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"interview\">\n<p>Just as this story was being finalized, Courr\u00e9ges announced the appointment of Coperni Femme&#8217;s designers Myer and Valiant as its new artistic directors. Along with the announcement the designers have withdrawn from the LVMH Prize turning attentions to their new endeavor; as such they are still featured here among the 8 nominees for the prize although they are no longer in the running. Parallels to Andr\u00e9 Courr\u00e9ges\u2019 futurism-predilections and the A-line are conspicuous, making them an apt (and young) fit.<\/p>\n<p>Coperni Femme from French designers S\u00e9bastien Meyer and Arnaud Valiant is of discerningly pragmatic repute among the eight LVMH contenders. The label\u2019s Parisian sensibilities, fine-spun nuance and modernist flair previously secured them ANDAM&#8217;s First Collections Prize. The pair met while studying at the Mod\u2019Art International School in Paris and has since acted in counterbalance, \u201cWe used to say that Sebastien is the creative one and I (Arnaud) am the business one. In fact we are really complementary.&#8221; S\u00e9bastien&#8217;s role is chiefly as designer while Arnaud operates on the frontline of business saying, &#8220;I try to translate his creativity in a more accessible way.&#8221; <\/p>\n<div class=\"pullquote\">\n&#8220;Being a Parisian can be a state of mind more than where you live. It means a chic, intelligent, cultivated, curious woman&#8221;\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve always been fascinated by astrology and science,\u201d says Arnaud. Starting Coperni in 2013, named after Renaissance astronomer Copernicus, the disciplines of science somehow seamlessly translate into the language of their design. For their Spring 2015 collection called \u201cThe Last Days of Tropism\u201d Arnaud notes, \u201cIt aims to capture the idea of the natural movement of flowers blooming, a concept we explored with embroidery and openings.\u201d The collection, comprised mainly of trim A-line skirts and modish mini dresses, is conceptually unfussy and the fabrics are quietly authored in an imaginative way by Myer, a textile savant. The designers are inspired by Brutalist architecture and their approach starts \u201cwith geometrical shape, and by playing, folding, stitching them, we create a new textile or a new shape.&#8221; They then hone in on developing the more wearable pieces designing with their quintessential Parisienne in mind. &#8220;Our muse Lolita Jacobs inspire us a lot,\u201d says Arnaud of the it-girl and goes on to explain, \u201cBeing a Parisian can be a state of mind more than were you live. It means a chic, intelligent, cultivated, curious woman who loves to dress and needs to feel good in her garments.\u201d <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"center\">\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2015\/05\/Yatsko-Modelsdot91996.jpg\"  width=\"1280\" height=\"961\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-39590\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2015\/05\/Yatsko-Modelsdot91996.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2015\/05\/Yatsko-Modelsdot91996-840x631.jpg 840w, https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2015\/05\/Yatsko-Modelsdot91996-1024x769.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/mdx\/i\/2015\/05\/Yatsko-Modelsdot91996-200x150.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"separ\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"footerbox\">\n<p>The LVMH 8<\/p>\n<div class=\"parts\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/models.com\/mdx\/the-lvmh-8-pt-1-arthur-arbesser\/\">Pt.1<br \/>Arthur Arbesser<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"parts active\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/models.com\/mdx\/lvmh-coperni-femme\/\">Pt.2<br \/>Coperni<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"parts\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/models.com\/mdx\/the-lvmh-8-pt-3-faustine-steinmetz\/\">Pt.3<br \/>Faustine Steinmetz<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"parts\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/models.com\/mdx\/the-lvmh-8-pt-4-jacquemus\/\">Pt.4<br \/>Jacquemus<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"parts\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/models.com\/mdx\/the-lvmh-8-pt-5-marques-almeida\/\">Pt.5<br \/>Marques&#8217;Almeida<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"parts\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/models.com\/mdx\/the-lvmh-8-pt-6-off-white\/\">Pt.6<br \/>Off-White<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"parts\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/models.com\/mdx\/the-lvmh-8-pt-7-vetements\/\">Pt.7<br \/>Vetements<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"parts\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/models.com\/mdx\/the-lvmh-8-pt-8-craig-green\/\">Pt.8<br \/>Craig Green<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"separ\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"coming\">\nNext: <a href=\"https:\/\/models.com\/mdx\/the-lvmh-8-pt-3-faustine-steinmetz\/\">Pt.3 Faustine Steinmetz<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Models.com presents an exclusive spotlight on the 8 young designer finalists selected for the LVMH Prize, Part 2 Coperni Femme<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":39588,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[155,2130,2129,1538],"tags":[4109,4108,8,2083,2044,2125,2631,2740,2742,2061,4110,197,2321,895],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/mdx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39342"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/mdx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/mdx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/mdx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/mdx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=39342"}],"version-history":[{"count":28,"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/mdx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39342\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":43414,"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/mdx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39342\/revisions\/43414"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/mdx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/39588"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/mdx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=39342"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/mdx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=39342"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/mdx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=39342"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
