Les correspondances
MMM launches Les Correspondances, the very first international congress dedicated to fashion, in Marseille.
A unique event, conceived in line with its vocation: to promote the creation, know-how and cultural heritage of fashion in the Mediterranean and on the African continent.
Edition 2025: "Fashion and Architecture" June 4-6, 2025 - MUCEM
Innovative in its approach, Les Correspondances 2025 offers a cross-fertilization of fashion and architecture, addressing contemporary creative issues - culture, know-how, transmission and sustainability - in a reflexive dialogue with another artistic discipline, architecture. Toronto-based Moroccan architect Aziza Chaouni will be the patron of this year's event, held under the patronage of the French National Commission for UNESCO. As a partner in this edition, the SANDRO fashion house "corresponds" with the Maison Mode Méditerranée around shared values of transmission, excellence of know-how and Mediterranean culture.
Cette édition a mis en lumière des créateurs, chercheurs et experts venus de six pays (Liban, Maroc, Sénégal, Portugal, Italie et France), lauréats de la MMM. Elle a valorisé la créativité interculturelle, le partage des savoir-faire et la mise en avant des patrimoines méditerranéens et africains, tout en favorisant la coopération internationale. Sur la durée de l’événement, un projet de recherche en temps réel a été mené, en partenariat avec l’Institut Français de la Mode.
