Layers Of Meaning at Mossi FW24-25

 

A reflection of inner essence – MOSSI’s identity is not static but rather dynamic and evolving, shaped by ongoing experiences, inspirations, and interactions throughout life. A quest to tackle architectural archetypes, crafting garments that resonate with personal emotions and recurring patterns: sadness, anger, and hope.

 

Layers on layers is the motto for this collection. The aura of Korean contemporary artist Lee Bul – exploring hybrid forms and utopian potentials – transcended through the FW24-25 collection. MOSSI deconstructed ambivalent lines between each attire, praising the art of draping and asymmetric silhouettes. The re-imagination of nuanced layering codes – a dynamic interplay of textures, colors, and shapes – punctuated the three tables of the collection. 

 

MOSSI perpetrates a novel dimension of fluidity and movement by incorporating the Gré pleated and draping techniques. Embodying a spirit of storytelling and exploration, the sculptural shapes emphasized versatility at its core, challenging our traditional vision. A mad crush for the monochromatic green wool suit, mastering the art of the Gré pleated. 

 

Fashion as a form of self-expression – a vehicle for social change and a platform for advocacy. Beyond mere aesthetics, MOSSI utilized Manifesto t-shirts and thought-provoking messages to make statements about the pressing issues facing our society. Chanting in unison, “Doing politics should not mean deciding on people’s right to live”. 

 

With a commitment to ethical sourcing, eco-conscious materials such as milk casein fiber and wool assembled from recycled cushions and mattresses, every detail, spoke to Mossi’s unwavering ethos of environmental responsibility. Waste is minimized – unlocking the power of upcycling to transform textile scraps into shoulder bags.

 

MOSSI’s FW 24-25 collection immersed the audience into the art of draping – a captivating glimpse into the boundless possibilities of layering. The designer infused each piece with a sense of heritage and cultural vibration, reimagining it in modern contexts – a celebration of identity, innovation, and versatility.
