African Fashion Twins

Being a twin myself, I always love it when I stumble across others. Who is the first born? This is usually one of the interesting questions to ask. Why you might wonder as a non-twin? Because it matters, that's why! As a second born myself I like the Nigerian way of looking at twins: They say that the second born tells its companion to go out there and check what life is like and let him/her know if it is worth coming out.

Anyhow, I noticed that there are quite a lot of African fashion twins - here is a selection. Have I missed anyone? Please comment below!

The Okunoren Twins (Nigeria) - I have never seen twins that look so different like Taiwo & Kehinde Okunoren. Chic, elegant menswear.

Dpipertwins - Danielle and Chantelle Dwomoh-Piper (Ghanaian/Caribbean). Trendy, sexy fashion with some glitter and prints in the mix.

 

Ayaan and Idyl Mohallim (Somalia) are the twins behind the brand Mataano. Elegant, timeless chic.
