MOSSI Autumn/Winter 2026–2027 — The Fashion Industry Files a
Complaint Against Mossi
For the Autumn/Winter 2026 season, MOSSI presents a runway show with a singular
format, hosted in an institutional and historic venue, the Court of Appeal of Paris.
Within this solemn setting, the brand has conceived an unprecedented format
designed as a true immersive experience. More than a fashion show, it is a staging
where fashion meets the institution, and where personal narrative becomes material for
creation.
Through this presentation, Mossi Traoré, founder of the brand, highlights his journey in an
unexpected way. The show unfolds as a symbolic trial where creativity, personal history,
and a critical perspective on fashion intersect.
The scenography faithfully reproduces the configuration of a real courtroom, including
a judge, prosecutor, lawyer, clerk, and the formal structure of a hearing. The
interventions, statements, and sequence follow the structure of a trial, while maintaining
a deliberately light and irreverent tone. Fashion experts and journalists complete the
setting, taking part in the debate as witnesses called to the stand.
The hearing has been public.
Testimonies have been heard.
The charges have been read.
And the defendant has been judged.Within this judicial theatre, each appearance and each silhouette illustrates the
arguments of both the prosecution and the defense, making the collection itself the
heart of the debate. Fashion becomes the subject, the language, and the evidence.
The collection draws directly from the wardrobe of the judiciary, including judges’ robes
and the silhouettes of lawyers and prosecutors, reinterpreted through MOSSI’s lens.
Structured volumes dialogue with the house’s signature pleating, while certain
sculptural forms evoke the work of South Korean artist Lee Bul.
