LOHIJE, renowned for redefining sustainable luxury, unveiled its latest collection, Metamorphosis II, at the GTCO Fashion Weekend in Lagos, Nigeria. Inspired by the transformative journey of the butterfly, Creative Director Gift Olohije Raji brought to life the beauty of change, resilience, and renewal through intricate craftsmanship and innovative design.
Building on the success of Metamorphosis I under the Waste Is White initiative, which turned upcycled remnants into wearable art, this collection delves deeper into the story of growth. With artful cutouts, delicate embroidery, and butterfly motifs, each garment mirrors the butterfly’s lifecycle, reflecting the progression from struggle to beauty.
Staying true to LOHIJE’s ethos, Metamorphosis II was crafted with 95% locally sourced fabrics and in collaboration with African artisans, blending heritage and modernity. Each piece is a testament to ethical fashion, showcasing thoughtful patterns, vibrant color palettes, and unparalleled attention to detail.
Complementing the collection is a line of jewelry created in partnership with Unrefyned, adding a refined touch that embodies the collection’s essence.
“Metamorphosis II is a meditation on growth,” said Gift Olohije Raji. “It reminds us that life’s challenges, much like the butterfly’s stages, lead to beauty and purpose. This collection transforms materials once seen as waste into pieces of immense value and meaning.”
Now available online and through select retailers, Metamorphosis II invites fashion enthusiasts to experience the luxury of sustainable design while embracing a powerful narrative of transformation.
