Coperni Launches Innovative Probiotic-Infused Athleisure Collection

French luxury brand Coperni has made waves with its innovative tech-driven designs. From live displays of a spray-on dress at fashion shows to a quirky robotic dog disrobing models, the label continually pushes boundaries. Recently, Coperni has announced a new athleisure line merging biotech fabrics with probiotic elements aimed at enhancing skin radiance, creating a unique intersection of fashion and science.

The C+ Collection: A New Era in Athleisure

Introducing the C+ collection, Coperni’s inaugural foray into the beauty realm. This line transcends simple clothing; it’s described as “a skincare gesture you wear.” The garments are crafted from a four-way stretch fabric infused with a patented blend of probiotics and prebiotics, designed to deliver skincare benefits while worn.

Rethinking Clothing and Body Care

Co-founders Arnaud Vaillant and Sébastien Meyer emphasize the brand’s vision: “We are redefining the relationship between clothing and the body. Garments are not just for covering or expression; they can also nourish and support the body.” This philosophy has led to the creation of an entirely new category dubbed “carewear,” which aims to enhance overall well-being through innovative fashion.

The C+ collection beautifully merges sleek design with the comfort of a second skin. It includes versatile everyday items like leggings, bodysuits, and long-sleeve tops, each designed to promote a natural glow and boost skin beauty.

Understanding Probiotic-Infused Fabric

Coperni partnered with HeiQ, an innovator in textile biotechnology, to develop the “carewear” line. Each gram of the fabric holds up to 140,000 CFU/g of beneficial bacteria, activated through friction, movement, and body heat, which aids in delivering skin-enhancing properties.

This unique probiotic blend is designed to support skin health by promoting a balanced microbiome. The result is an innovative approach to garment design that not only focuses on aesthetics but also on wellness.

The innovative treatment not only maintains the fabric’s breathability and softness but also ensures a pleasant experience for the wearer. It has been dermatologically tested to confirm it is non-irritating. This environmentally conscious formula is derived from upcycled, non-GMO sources, aligning with strict global safety and sustainability standards.

Coperni suggests that to maximize the benefits of the C+ collection, wearers should regularly use these garments. Although the efficacy of the active ingredients may diminish after about 40 washes, the benefits will continue to be visible.

Availability and Pricing

The C+ collection debuts with three versatile pieces in black and grey, priced between 150 to 180 euros (or 175 to 195 US dollars). Interested customers can pre-order the line on the brand’s website, with expected shipments by mid-November.
