The story behind
MOS by Alicia
I, Alicia de Groot, brought the MOS brand to life in 2016. At fashion school, I laid the technical foundation for my work for many years. After completing this course, I took the step to the Amsterdam Fashion Institute (AMFI), where I further developed my technical skills and own style..
During my graduation in 2014, around 250,000 people in the Netherlands were dependent on a wheelchair, a number I found astonishing. I soon discovered that there was very little fashion available for this group, especially for young people. It quickly became clear to me that, for my graduation project, I wanted to focus on fashion for people with a seated lifestyle. This type of clothing aligns with my interest in the technical side of fashion. Designing for people in a seated position is, above all, a highly technical process: achieving a perfect fit is essential.
After graduating, I wanted to continue working in this field. The satisfaction I get from being able to help others through my technical expertise led me to found the MOS brand in early 2016.
It is my belief that stylish clothing should also be available for wheelchair users. Fashion for all, that is the philosophy behind MOS.
Why
MOS
"The name MOS comes from the green plant of the same name. MOS grows in nature as a soft extra layer on trees and rocks. This makes it a symbol of what MOS wants to offer sedentary people: clothing that feels like a second skin."
Mission
Mission MOS designs and creates stylish, thoughtfully crafted clothing for people who live a seated lifestyle, with smart adaptations that enhance comfort, ease of use, and independence in everyday life.
Vision
