Mossi SS25

What's a fashion show without a dash of excitement? Usually, those of us in Standing (no, I am not ashamed to be in Standing sometimes, it is what it is…) have an unspoken pact to play nice. But sometimes the claws come out! As I found myself mediating a tiff with a rather prickly attendee, I couldn't help but think, aren't we all here for the love of fashion? Thankfully, most industry professionals keep it classy. A round of applause for all of you who maintain decorum in the face of fashion frenzy!

Now, let's talk Mossi. Mossi Traoré, the mastermind behind the brand, has truly outdone himself this season. The SS25 collection is a testament to the power of restraint and the beauty of simplicity. Mossi kept things deliciously tight with a color palette that speaks volumes: black, white, blue, and just a whisper of pink. But trust me, it's all you need when the execution is this flawless.

At first glance, you might think, "Oh, how wearable!" But don't be fooled. As the show progressed, each piece revealed unexpected twists that had the audience gasping in delight. It's like unwrapping a beautifully packaged gift, only to find an even more exquisite surprise inside. The collection beautifully marries streetwear with '90s heritage design. It's nostalgia served with a side of now, and I'm here for it. The sheer white veils draped over black foundations, simply divine. It's the fashion equivalent of that effortlessly cool friend with the "je ne sais qoui". The "quoi", is Mossi.

Mossi's mastery shines through in the intricate details. Drawing inspiration from the works of Simone Pheulpin and Madame Grès, the collection offers a poetic blend of structure and fluidity. The use of cool wool sculpted into light volumes and fluid jersey that gracefully embraces the body is nothing short of artistry. The fabric selection is a sensory delight. From the suppleness of Japanese denim to the rich texture of Japanese crêpe, each material has been chosen with utmost care. The result? Pieces that play with light and movement, creating a dynamic visual feast.

What truly sets Mossi apart is the brand's commitment to inclusivity and ethical fashion. It's refreshing to see a designer who not only creates beautiful clothes but also empowers underprivileged youth through couture training programs. Fashion with a conscience, now that's something we can all get behind. Mossi's SS25 collection is the epitome of accessible elegance. It's the perfect blend of Parisian chic and global influences, offering pieces that are both statement-making and incredibly wearable. As I left the show, I couldn't help but feel inspired by Mossi Traoré's vision of everyday couture. It's not just about looking good; it's about feeling good in clothes that tell a story of craftsmanship, inclusivity, and innovation.
