Mossimo Woman was a specialty line of swimwear and cover-ups developed by Mossimo. While the parent brand offered a broad range of sportswear and casualwear, Mossimo Woman differentiated itself with a product assortment focused on swimwear.

Its continued presence today could not be confirmed, so it is treated as a historical line.
