Danielle and Chantelle Dwomoh-Piper (popularly referred to as the DPiperTwins) are 23 year old twin fashion models and fashion designers born to a Ghanaian father and Caribbean mother. Although born in New York, they were raised in their fatherland, Ghana for nine years.

The DPiperTwins grew up in a fashion conscious home, with previous generations who knew how to work the sewing machine: “Our mother would always buy fabric and create our uniforms and customize them and we paid attention to how particular she was about what we wore. From watching her, we developed a love for it.” says the twins in an interview for JONESMAG.com

This love, propelled Danielle and Chantelle to pursue fashion relatively young. They attended the High School of Fashion Industries (HSFI) and continued their education at the Fashion Institute of Technology where they achieved their Bachelors degree.

In February 2010, a year after obtaining their Bachelors degree , they debut their Fashion and  Jewellery Line – Kastle Designs and  Treasure Chest at  New York Fashion Week.
