Jazz Music-Inspired Fashion Lines

The ABAGA VELLI Mercii Spring/Summer 2025 collection — titled ‘Mercii: What A Beautiful Coup’ — draws its influence from the layered nature of jazz music. Creative directors Nehimiah Hamsat-Ali and Mohsin Ali crafted a collection that blends bold colors, diverse textures, and contemporary silhouettes, with the hopes of translating the complexity and rhythm of the genre into fashion.

The ABAGA VELLI Mercii Spring/Summer 2025 collection’s palette is both vibrant and sophisticated, incorporating rich hues like ink, dark navy, and French navy, balanced against softer tones like warm camel, pale blue, and vibrant freesias. This juxtaposition of bold and subdued tones, paired with the collection’s loose and draped fits, evokes the elegance of 90s tailoring and delivers a nod to the iconic Armani silhouette.
