William Okpo

Darlene and Izzy Okpo, founders and designers of William Okpo


I came across the founders of William Okpo during my daily browsing on Tumblr.
Darlene and Lizzy Okpo are two amazing sisters who together created the fashion line "William Okpo", which was named after their father. They are both Nigerian (like myself), and not to mention stunning!
But what seemed striking to me about them the most was their personal style. I have just started getting into the whole ethnic/Afrocentric/'embracing your culture' (whatever you want to call it) kinda look. They wear African jewellery, beautiful African prints, maxi skirts and wear their braids extremely long.

Their label is one to look out for. Their f/w 2011 collection I felt were very delicate, and contained neutral colours and soft cuts.
