On March 22, 2025, the British Council in Accra hosted the TechStitched Fashion Show, an event designed to highlight the intersection of fashion and technology in Africa. This showcase was organized through a collaboration between FashionGHANA, Accra Fashion Week, and the British Council, successfully drawing attention to the innovative directions of the continent’s fashion industry.
One of the most anticipated features of the evening was the unveiling of the M23 collection by the menswear brand Fohrella. The collection is rooted in the ongoing freedom movement in Congo, embodying themes of resilience and liberation through its designs. Fohrella, renowned for merging traditional African aesthetics with modern tailoring, presented pieces characterized by structured silhouettes and intricate detailing, utilizing a color palette that resonates with Congolese heritage.
Fohrella operates under the creative direction of Fameye, alongside the leadership of Nana Tamakloe. The brand has quickly risen to prominence within Ghana’s fashion landscape, recognized for its dedication to quality craftsmanship and innovative approaches that challenge established menswear norms. Their previous exhibition at Accra Fashion Week 2024 garnered critical acclaim, affirming their place as leaders in the evolution of modern African fashion.
The TechStitched Fashion Show not only showcased Fohrella’s M23 collection but also illuminated the broader theme of digital innovation fused with sustainable craftsmanship within African fashion. Attendees were treated to virtual reality presentations and avant-garde designs, reflecting the transformative potential of technological integration within the industry.
Fohrella’s M23 collection provided a vivid narrative, translating the spirit of a significant social movement into fashion that serves as wearable art. The event highlighted both the artistry and the storytelling capabilities inherent in fashion, paving the way for further explorations at the crossroads of culture and contemporary design.
