In The World Of African American Fashion; Meet Designers Darlene and Lizzy Okpo…


Meet Designers Darlene and Lizzy Okpo

Darlene and Lizzy Okpo

“I definitely am a big Black History buff. When you observe the women of our history, their style was amazing.” ~Darlene

Sisters Darlene and Lizzy Okpo were born in the Bronx, NY, to Nigerian immigrant parents. Their inspiration comes from their parent’s personal style with American culture. With both Darlene and Lizzy’s love of fashion, they created a women’s wear collection named after their father, William Okpo. Their brand represents the “immigrant’s sense of style against American cultural sensibilities, offering the modern feminine designs with touches of masculine elements. William Okpo is for women who celebrate their cultivated sense of style.”

Gym time, but make it fashion. Thanks, @fabletics I love how this pullover cinches at the waist and pink is my favorite color. This set is the perfect fit to get in a quick workout. #fableticspartner

If the shoe fits, make it iconic.
Don’t just wear it baby….own it. Turn every step into a statement and every entrance into a moment they won’t forget.

I’m always preaching to the choir about wearing what we already have at home… but accessories? Babyyyyyy, they’re the cheat code. They make everything feel fresh without buying a whole new outfit. Never underestimate the power of the right piece it changes the whole vibe. #fashionstyledetroit #sunglasses #freepeople
