Coperni, Ludovic de Saint Sernin will design the costumes for Violet Chachki's Crazy Horse residency held during Paris Haute Couture Week.
She will be the first drag performer to grace the legendary cabaret’s stage, with a show running just ahead of Pride.
“I really wanted to go with them because they’re queer, they’re younger, up-and-coming and Parisian,” she said. She has been a front row regular at their fashion shows for several seasons. Despite her frequent front row placement, working on the costumes resulted in her first trip to an atelier. “Had you ever told 12- or 13-year-old me that I would have a closet full of custom Christian Louboutins? For my Crazy Horse residency? I would have died,” she said. “It’s a dream come true, and I’m so lucky that I have so much support.”Chachki chose the designer for the partner number specifically because of his prowess with menswear, and they looked to de Saint Sernin’s fall 2024 Robert Mapplethorpe-inspired collection.
The resulting looks are silver leather, metal mesh and iridescent Swarovski crystals with snatched-waist corsets and plenty of cleavage. They worked to merge several ideas and aesthetics, including taking inspiration from one of Chachki’s tattoos reinterpreted as an artwork on her dress. “It’s amazing because he’s doing this homoerotic brand, unashamedly and with huge success — seeing someone who’s a good businessperson, who’s a great designer, and who is showcasing queer people in such a beautiful way,” added Chachki, of de Saint Sernin’s sensual touch.
“I’m a hoarder. If I’m bored or lonely, especially on the road, I’m like, ‘Let me check Poshmark, or Etsy, or eBay to fill the void,’ and I justify it by saying it’s a work expense,” she joked.
