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.”

I love a good vintage pen and I wanted to add some to my denim jacket for a little razzle dazzle. I came across some really good finds on @etsy

Pause!! Have you even worn the stuff you bought last month?
.
Next time you say “I have nothing to wear” remember all those pieces at home with tags still on them?
