Attached to the spirit of transmission, Mossi Traoré founded a haute couture school “Les Ateliers Alix” in 2015. Focused on creation and mastery of know-how (from corsetry to embroidery and finishing) it trains around thirty students per year. With the support of his association “Les Ateliers Parisiens” created in 2016, Mossi not only trains young people in Haute Couture but also helps them enter the professional world.

​

The school and the association also train local women or unqualified migrants in sewing professions in order to enable them to pass the CAP as a free candidate and help them find a job. “Les Ateliers Alix” is also an opportunity for the designer to pay tribute to Madame Grès, Alix by her first name, whose work fascinates him. Fascinated by the design of Yohji Yamamoto, Issey Miyake, Margiela, Indian culture but also Japanese manga and contemporary art, in 2017, Mossi Traoré launched his MOSSI brand of women's ready-to-wear which evokes rigor and aesthetics of couture.
