法国品牌Coperni宣布停业：与大股东兼分销商纠纷无解，两位创办人结束八年旅程
法国巴黎时装品牌 Coperni 的两位联合创始人 Sébastien Meyer 与 Arnaud Vaillant 于11月4日通过 Instagram 发表声明，宣布品牌运营主体 Coperni SAS 停止运营，为这个2018年重启的巴黎品牌画上句号。停业的直接原因是品牌与大股东兼独家分销商、总部位于伦敦的 Tomorrow Ltd. 之间持续数月、无从化解的纠纷。
创办人在声明中说：「过去几个月，我们用尽一切办法保住 Coperni、化解与股东兼分销商 Tomorrow 的冲突。Tomorrow 在毫无惩戒地停付发票款项之后，又单方面终止了我们的授权协议。尽管我们已尽全力，仍找不到解决办法。我们只能以沉痛的心情宣布，Coperni SAS 停止运营。」据品牌一方称，冲突源于 Tomorrow 拖欠应付给品牌的款项。
纠纷在今年一步步公开化：2026年2月，Coperni 宣布退出巴黎时装周，称与 Tomorrow 的关系「已严重恶化，到了 Coperni 不再有条件支撑自身发展的程度」；3月，Tomorrow 被售予意大利电商企业 The Level Group 的母公司 Progetto 11，创办人试图夺回品牌控制权的出价据报未被接受；6月，巴黎一家法院给予 Coperni 司法保护，品牌进入接管程序，至11月4日被置于强制清算、正式停业。
Meyer 与 Vaillant 在巴黎 Mod'Art International 相识，2013年共同创立 Coperni，2015年曾出任 Courrèges 创意总监，2018年携 Tomorrow 的支持重启自家品牌。此后 Coperni 以科技感秀场屡屡出圈：2023年春夏秀上为模特 Bella Hadid 现场喷制成衣的一幕传遍全球，其以美国航天局（NASA）纳米材料气凝胶制成的 Air Swipe 手袋也曾引发热议。
「这八年不可思议，」创办人在声明结尾写道，「我们得以把想法变成现实，遇见难忘的人，分享创业之初连想都不敢想的时刻。」两人以「后会有期」作结，未宣布下一步计划。Tomorrow 旗下还持有设计师品牌 Martine Rose 的多数股权，该品牌今年也曾因 Tomorrow 的问题取消最新系列的生产，后 Tomorrow 称将「照常生产」其2026年秋冬系列。

French Label Coperni Ceases Operations: Founders End Eight-Year Run After Dispute With Shareholder Tomorrow
Sébastien Meyer and Arnaud Vaillant, the co-founders of the Paris fashion label Coperni, announced in an Instagram statement on November 4 that the brand's operating company, Coperni SAS, is ceasing operations, ending the run of the Paris label they relaunched in 2018. The immediate cause is a months-long, unresolved dispute with the brand's majority shareholder and exclusive distributor, the London-based Tomorrow Ltd.
"Over the past few months, we have tried everything to preserve Coperni and find a resolution to the conflict with our shareholder and distributor, Tomorrow," the co-founders said in the statement. "After suspending invoice payments with impunity, Tomorrow has now unilaterally terminated our licensing agreement. Despite all our efforts, no solution could be found. It is with profound sadness that we announce today that Coperni SAS is ceasing operations." According to the brand, the conflict stems from sums Tomorrow owed Coperni and failed to pay.
The dispute became public step by step this year. In February 2026, Coperni pulled out of Paris Fashion Week, saying its relationship with Tomorrow had "deteriorated significantly, to the point that Coperni no longer has the means to support its development." In March, Tomorrow was sold to Progetto 11, the parent company of the Italian e-commerce firm The Level Group, and the designers' bids to retake control of their label were reportedly not accepted. In June, a Paris court granted Coperni protection and the label entered receivership; on November 4 it was placed into compulsory liquidation and ceased operations.
Meyer and Vaillant met at the Paris fashion school Mod'Art International and launched Coperni together in 2013. They served as creative directors of Courrèges in 2015 before returning to relaunch Coperni in 2018 with Tomorrow's backing. The label became known for technology-driven runway moments, including the spray-on dress created live on model Bella Hadid at its Spring 2023 show and the Air Swipe Bag made from NASA's silica aerogel nanomaterial.
"These eight years have been incredible," the co-founders wrote at the end of their statement. "We have been able to bring our ideas to life, meet unforgettable people and share moments we would never have dared to imagine when we first embarked on this journey." They signed off with "see you soon" and announced no next plans. Tomorrow also holds a majority stake in the designer brand Martine Rose, whose most recent collection production was canceled over Tomorrow's problems earlier this year before Tomorrow said it would be "regularly producing" the Fall 2026 collection.
