Want to see what African fashionistas are wearing? For the next 10 days, we get an exclusive look into the wardrobes of the sisters behind the fashion brand DPipertwins.
Danielle and Chantelle Dwomoh-Piper are identical twin models, designers and bloggers. Born to an African father and a Caribbean mother, the twins studied at the prestigious Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City. They launched their label shortly after completing their degrees. It is now sold internationally and has been worn by the likes of Lupita Nyong’o!
Although they live and work abroad, the twins show off their proud heritage in every collection they create through a combination of colourful prints and bold designs. They blog about everything from fashion and food to beauty and travel. On top of all this, the ladies can be spotted modelling on American TV shows like Good Morning America, Rachael Ray and The Chew.
Keep up with the sisters on their blog or follow them on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook. You can shop their fashion brand, DPipertwins at www.dpipertwins.com.
