Here the Belgian designer and artist presents a wide array of his output, characteristic for its surrealistic undertone and distinctive craftsmanship, balanced between art and fashion. Coppens has collaborated with Grace Jones, Roísín Murphy, Rihanna and Issey Miyake, to name a few, and shows couture collections in Paris and Tokyo. In two volumes, ‘Home’ and ‘Work’, the collection ranges from Polaroid photographs, strange taxidermy and biographical musings on everyday domesticity in the former to runway shows, whimsical accessories and glossy editorials in the latter. His fascination with the world of animals and their representation is readily apparent.
