INTERVIEW: William Okpo Sisters on Inspiration, Family & Guilty Pleasures

Edited by

William Okpo is the brainchild of sisters Lizzy and Darlene Okpo for the contemporary, confident woman. Named as an ode to their father whose killer style has always been an inspiration to them, the Okpo sisters have garnered a lot of attention in the past year. The brand is sold at Opening Ceremony in NY and LA; they have become street style stars for their amazing wardrobe, accessories and long locks; and they recently teamed with Brook&Lyn to create a cape and pouch. We caught up with the Brooklyn-based design duo to find out what it’s like working with a family member, their current muse and guilty pleasures.

Style Crush: Elizabeth Olsen

Edited by

Today’s Style Crush is on It Girl of the moment Elizabeth Olsen (little sis and spitting image of Mary Kate & Ashley).  Her first movie Martha Marcy May Marlene came out this weekend and critics are praising her acting chops.  We however, have our eyes on something else: her wardrobe.  If there is anything she picked up from her famous twin sisters, it is how to rock couture without blinking an eye.  Here are some of our favorite shots of the fresh face.

Ms. Mad Hatter? Lady Gaga’s First Fashion Internship

Edited by

Lady Gaga is moving on to her next creative endeavor:  an intern for fashion’s favorite milliner, Phillip Treacy.  For those of you who may not have the pleasure of knowing who Treacy is, he is the designer responsible for some of the world’s most iconic headwear (think Princess Beatrice‘s wildly popular fascinator, Carrie Bradshaw’s “something blue” feathered topper in the Sex & The City wedding, and many a piece for the late Alexander McQueen ).   Hats off to Mother Monster (pun completely intended) for humbly starting at the bottom of the millinery, we can’t wait to see what type of tops she comes up with.  Click through for a gallery of some of our favorite Treacy pieces.

Stella McCartney and Liv Tyler Chat with FashionIndie Over Veggie Burgers at Saks

Edited by

Amidst an indoor midsummer’s picnic with vegetarian burgers and dogs, cotton candy and a doo wop quartet, Liv Tyler hosted a party for her good friend Stella McCartney in celebration of her new shop opened within Saks Fifth Avenue. The star of the party was certainly Stella McCartney – her full Fall 2011 collection lined the store in Saks, giving us a chance to feast our eyes and hands on the oversized blazers and dropped shoulders sidling body con dresses. The chest of kid Stella clothes was pretty freaking adorable, too. And 10% of proceeds from her sales last night went to The Naked Heart Foundation.

Prada for Topshop? Aldo??

Edited by

Ha, only in our wildest fashion fantasies. No no, Miuccia Prada has not taken the dive down to Topshop or Aldo for any true collaborations, but her striped soled espadrilles have proven highly inspirational to the many factory farmed designers out there.
