The day before the presentation, Vogue caught up with Copin, Cos creative director Karin Gustafsson and multi-award-winning choreographer Wayne McGregor, who orchestrated the sinuous movements of the dancers, to get a first glimpse of the collection during the dress rehearsal.

Entitled Soma (“Somatic practice,” explains McGregor, “is this idea of what the body already knows”), the 17-piece capsule collection explores how we intuitively alter the way clothes sit on our body by rolling our sleeves, for example, or rearranging the way our collar sits on our neck. “We obviously work a lot draping fabric on a dress stand which is static,” says Gustafsson. “For quite some time we were thinking about working with choreographers and performers because we are so intrigued by everyday movements and the relationship we have with our garments.”
