Tim Coppens
Designer
Tim Coppens is a fashion designer who was born in Belgium and graduated from the acclaimed Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp. He has worked with various prestigious luxury and sports-performance brands before founding his own label in New York in 2012. Barneys New York immediately ordered his first collection and international retailers followed suit.
Since his first season, Tim Coppens has received strong support and praise from both retailers and press. WWD selected him as part of the '10 of Tomorrow' Rising Stars. He is an ANDAM and LVMH Prize finalist, as well as three-time CFDA nominee, and winner of the 2014 CFDA/Swarovski Award for Best Emerging Menswear Designer.
One of Tim Coppens Studio's ongoing project is called ACID, which revisits past youth culture references and explores future happenings, inspired by Coppens’ own experiences traveling to Paris, London, Berlin, NYC in the nineties. The first series is a limited selection of over-dyed vintage varsity sweatshirts - printed and embroidered in NYC. The series is only available online and limited to 100 pieces. Each piece is selected, hand numbered, signed, and marked by Tim Coppens.
Coppens lives and works in New York City.
