William Okpo

Provenance: Nigeria via New York

Who: Darlene and Lizzy Okpo.

What: Sophisticated, structured separates in a range of earth tones.

Why: Once you meet them in person, it’s just as easy to be captivated by the Okpo sisters as it is to be captivated by their clothes. It’s easy to see why: both collection and designers have an elegance, grace and strength that’s far from ordinary. The interplay between the masculine and feminine – a hallmark in each piece – is an homage to their parents, whose personal style is a noted inspiration for the duo. We look forward to seeing more from these sisters, who are only in their second year as designers.
