 Ghanaian fashion house Fohrella has officially launched its latest collection titled M23, a powerful sartorial narrative inspired by the ongoing freedom movement in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Drawing from themes of resilience, resistance, and cultural pride, the M23 Collection, as showcased on Ghana’s premier fashion week, Accra Fashion Week, represents a new chapter in contemporary African fashion.

Merging traditional aesthetics with modern tailoring, the M23 Collection showcases structured silhouettes,intricate hand detailing, with textured cotton and cowry shells and a thoughtfully curated palette that pays homage both Ghanaian culture and the Congolese struggle. The pieces speak not only to stylistic innovation but to the spirit of liberation and identity deeply rooted in African history.

Under the creative direction of Fameye, Fohrella has quickly risen to prominence in Ghana’s fashion industry. Known for its meticulous craftsmanship and avant-garde menswear, the brand has consistently challenged traditional fashion norms. Their previous showcase at Accra Fashion Week 2024 was met with critical acclaim,praised for its bold interpretation of modern African style.

“The M23 Collection is not just about clothes — it’s about telling our stories, honoring our history, and wearing our pride,” said Fameye. “We believe fashion has the power to spark dialogue, reclaim identity, and inspire change — and that is exactly what this collection sets out to do.” Through this, various looks amongst the collection were named after various activists from past to present.

The collection also speaks to Ghana’s chilly rainy fashion season, featuring high-quality, warm-textured cotton that absorbs moisture while retaining heat—ideal for the colder months. Several pieces, including outerwear and tailored jackets, are also designed to accommodate more extreme climates, making them perfect for regions such as South Africa, Ethiopia, and Western countries experiencing harsher cold conditions.

The M23 Collection is now available online at www.fohrella.com.
