Inspiration

Romy Van Zuylen’s collaboration with Fabrique is rooted in the reality of modern city life. She approaches it through the relaxed edge of sportswear, easing the pressure of a fast-moving workday with soft fabrics, flexible structure, and playful material contrasts in the details. The collection also picks up on the Canadian Tuxedo as a classic fashion code, extending its rebellious, free-spirited energy into a more personal way of dressing—an attitude that makes room for new self-expression within the repetition of everyday life.

Background

Former head of design at Coperni, and former senior designer at Courrèges, as well as womenswear designer at Jonathan Saunders and Balenciaga, known for balancing futuristic minimalism with French elegance across ready-to-wear and accessories.

Romy Van Zuylen comes from the Paris fashion system, but her work has never stayed within one house code. Over more than a decade, her design path has moved through Balenciaga, Jonathan Saunders, and Courrèges—labels with very different demands, but all requiring a strong command of form, precision, and point of view.

In 2018, she joined Coperni and later became head of design, taking charge of ready-to-wear, accessories, bags, and the brand’s minimalist futuristic direction. It is a role that asks for more than consistency. It asks for control across categories, and for the ability to turn a visual idea into a full, functioning wardrobe language.

That is where her work lands. She brings a space-age visual instinct into French dressing with a light hand, so the result feels neither theatrical nor cold. There is experimentation, but it is disciplined. There is futurism, but it remains wearable. That balance—between the forward-looking and the lived-in—is what gives her work real authority.
