Strong diepo debut at LGFW almost worth the hype

The diepo girls are modest. I don't need to know them to know that. They don't appear in the society pages or street style blogs. I've seldom seen them at a "fashion party." I hardly even recognized their work on LGFW's closing evening from when they showed last April at Alternative Fashion Week. And bravo to them.

Justine Diener and Kristin Poon, the duo behind the brand, raised eyebrows last year by showing garments akin to the trend every girl wishes they actually could bear: daywear lingerie (you know, almost pajamas, but not). For their big debut, the pair showed fall like it was spring. Tree stumps lined the Studio space, with lighting trickery designed to appear like sun shadows cast down from treetops.
