Description
Published to coincide with the exhibition "Mossi Traoré. Fashion Too", on view at the MUCEM from May 20 to November 16, 2026, the catalog features several new creations and fosters a dialogue between the designer and the museum's collections. This book invites readers to discover the world of Mossi Traoré, his inspirations, and the major themes that structure the exhibition's narrative: a passion for soccer as a collective language, India and its textile expertise, the transmission of craftsmanship, and the importance of the arts-particularly dance-in shaping movement and silhouette. Mossi Traoré's work celebrates the anonymous, communities, and territories-from the Parisian suburbs to Marseille-and champions a creative vision deeply rooted in reality. Les Ateliers Alix, founded by the designer, embody this vision of haute couture that is inclusive and empowering. Richly illustrated-notably with previously unpublished photographs taken at the Louvre Museum and the Marseille Velodrome-and accompanied by texts from experts, Mossi Traoré: Fashion also asserts that another kind of fashion is possible: a fashion that unites rather than divides and that values craftsmanship.
