At Paris Fashion Week, Coperni turned heads once again — not just with its futuristic tailoring and sleek silhouettes, but with a surprising tech-forward twist. The brand unveiled its own take on the Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses, offering a glimpse into fashion’s increasingly intimate relationship with wearable technology.
The original Ray-Ban Meta glasses, created in partnership with Meta (formerly Facebook), have been quietly gaining traction since their debut. Unlike some earlier attempts at smart eyewear, these glasses manage to integrate tech features — like built-in cameras, audio capabilities, and connectivity — into a stylish, relatively discreet design. Their success comes down to a balance of form and function: they’re wearable in every sense of the word.
Coperni’s version takes that concept further. Known for blurring the lines between sci-fi and street style (remember their viral spray-on dress moment?), the label embraced this wearable tech as part of a broader aesthetic vision. The glasses were styled with looks that leaned into the digital-futuristic theme, featuring reflective materials, minimalistic tailoring, and a coolly detached palette. Think: what a very fashionable android might wear on a coffee run in 2040.
What makes this moment interesting isn’t just the product itself, but what it signals: a shift in how the fashion industry is engaging with technology. For years, “wearables” like Google Glass struggled to catch on with consumers — either too clunky, too nerdy, or simply too ahead of their time. But Coperni, much like Ray-Ban Meta, is helping normalize the concept by wrapping it in aspiration and aesthetics.
The rise of wearable tech in high fashion points to a future where accessories do more than just complement an outfit — they actively engage with the world around us. As tech becomes more integrated into our daily lives, the brands that can make it look good may very well lead the charge. And if Coperni’s latest move is any indication, stylish smart glasses might soon be as essential as your favorite pair of sunnies.
