Sister sisters Lizzy and Darlene Okpo woke up one morning six months ago and decided they would not be afraid of color for fall. Their brand William Okpo, named after their father, would undergo a brilliant transformation as they designed for the first time with themselves as the wearer in mind. For a young company in their fifth season, whose palette has thus far been hovering in neutrals and black, the jump to technicolor might be a risky one. Will fans follow suit? Given the gasp-inducing melange of colored wools, accented with deceptive plastic pieces and vivid hues, they’re likely to garner a slew of new fans along the way.

He’s a Fashion Week fixture: The man in the wild printed suit and matching newsboy hat. If you’ve been to The Tents, you’ve seen him and probably wonder, who the heck is he? This mysteriously matching man rocked a John Lennon suit this New York Fashion Week. The deeply rooted Beatles fan in me suddenly had to know more about him and his sartorial choice of Lennon that caused quite a stir. So I asked.
