Paris Fashion Week: MOSSI unveils AW 25/26 collection: A Bold Fusion of Couture Craftsmanship, Sculptural Silhouettes, and Poetic Expression

French fashion brand MOSSI unveils its Autumn/Winter 2025-2026 collection, a striking exploration where ready-to-wear embraces couture craftsmanship.

Through draping techniques, architectural pleats, and bold layering, each piece becomes a dialogue between structure and fluidity. MOSSI’s DNA is expressed through sculptural silhouettes, marked by asymmetry and deconstruction—key signatures of the house. 

This season, the signature pleats take on new forms as belts, while iconic elements from the MOSSI wardrobe subtly appear throughout the runway.

Knitwear takes centre stage, offering infinite freedom of movement and drape, lending itself to a true exercise in style. Meanwhile, corduroy is reimagined through a subtle play on textures, balancing sensuality and precision.

Colour becomes a true field of exploration. Deep shades of blue and brown, worked on fabrics of varying thickness, blend and layer seamlessly. Some appear in gradient effects, evoking the shifting shadows of twilight, enhancing the depth and richness of the collection.

Parasols emerge as one of the major inspirations this season. Both protective and poetic, they influence volumes and transform the silhouette into a space for personal expression.

Finally, MOSSI’s “emotional print”, originally created with bold brushstrokes, has been reworked, enlarged, and refined to become another signature of the house, adding an expressive dimension to each piece.

MOSSI continues to dress with singularity, infusing each creation with an elegance that is both contemporary and timeless. More than just a collection, FW25 is an invitation to experience fashion and fully embrace it every day.

As a Paris-based luxury ready-to-wear brand founded by designer Mossi Traoré, Mossi is renowned for its ethical and socially engaged approach, the brand merges French couture traditions with global influences from countries such as India, Japan, and Mali. Committed to inclusivity, MOSSI offers accessible elegance while championing social mobility through fashion.

Beyond crafting exquisite clothing, MOSSI empowers underprivileged youth through its couture training programmes, with Les Ateliers Alix—an official partner of Chanel—playing a pivotal role in this mission. The brand has garnered prestigious accolades, including the 2020 Pierre Bergé Prize, and has collaborated with esteemed institutions such as La Redoute, Lalique, and Adidas.

Among its latest endeavours, MOSSI has launched the Le Vestiaire collection, now available at the Printemps Haussmann department store in Paris—a line that embodies the house’s signature elegance and couture craftsmanship.

Additionally, MOSSI’s work will be showcased in the exhibition Infiniment Bleu at Château Borély in Marseille from 7 March 2025 to 15 February 2026. This immersive journey explores the depth of blue through fashion and craftsmanship.

Designer Mossi Traoré has also created an exclusive collection for CASETiFY, bringing fashion-forward designs to phone cases and tech accessories. Launching in mid-March, this collaboration seamlessly blends style and innovation.

As Les Ateliers Alix marks its 10th anniversary this year—named in honour of Madame Alix Grès, a key inspiration for Mossi Traoré—the school continues its mission of preserving couture craftsmanship. Located in Villiers-sur-Marne, it offers a three-year training programme in haute couture techniques, showcasing the art of couture in the Parisian suburbs.
