"The ripeurs"
Spring-Summer 2023 Collection
With his collection "tribute to the invisible", Mossi Traoré highlights the profession practiced by his father for forty years: the job of garbage collector.
After several months of research, research work based on work clothes and garbage bags, and meetings with these workers, the MOSSI Spring / Summer 2023 collection was presented during Paris Fashion Week in October 2022 on the 7th floor of Printemps Haussmann.
It is now available until the end of June on our new Pop-Up at the 7th Heaven of Printemps Haussmann, as well as on our E-shop.

Our favorite pieces:
For this dress, the design studio worked on researching volumes using garbage bags.
Mossi got the idea to create this jacket after seeing a pair of work pants turned inside out on a model's shoulders.
This dress is inspired by one of the main codes of garbage collectors' work clothes: reflective stripes.
Focus on the materials:
filming and photo shoot
Thanks to the city of Paris and the management of the cleaning services, the team had the opportunity to go to the sorting centers for the photo shoot and the video shoot. With the help of the agents, we were able to use the places and the equipment as a decor.
1. Centre de tri Quai de Jemmapes
2. Sorting center on Boulevard de la Chapelle
3. Poplar postern sorting center
4. Ivry-sur-seine sorting center
5. Villiers-sur-Marne market
