Mossi la mode ensemble

Following the success of the "Fashion Folklore" exhibition, in 2026 the Mucem is devoting an exhibition to Mossi Traoré, an atypical designer on the French scene, for whom couture is at once a field of experimentation, a tool for transmission and a collective language.



Conceived in close collaboration with the artist, the exhibition offers an immersion into a universe where fashion dialogues with popular cultures, urban arts and traditional know-how.



Sculptural silhouettes, videos, textiles interacting with the museum's archives and artisanal gestures punctuate a sensory and participatory journey. Visitors are invited to touch materials, listen, create and feel. Trained as much on the street as with the masters of couture, Mossi Traoré develops a refined, committed aesthetic.



His eponymous brand and his school, Ateliers Alix - a tribute to Madame Grès - promote haute couture that is accessible, demanding and open to all. With this exhibition, the Mucem asserts its role as a bridge between heritage and contemporary creation, and brings to light stories that are often invisible, but that carry meaning and memory.
