Fashion designer spotlight: Korto Momolu

Fashion designer and stylist Korto Momolu is known for being the 2nd runner up in the hit US show project runway season 5. Her use of vibrant beautiful colours such as greens,yellows,creams and light khakis are inspired by her afican heritage. Her original and exotic designs fit right into the high fashion scene. Korto uses fabrics in interesting ways she folds, pleats and twists the fabrics to create a hot tropical look. Korto explains that her collection is "Definitely inspired by nature. Everybody knows I’m from Africa." At the moment she is currently preparing to launch her fall 2009 collection,while some of her designs are featured across stores in Arkansas and Los Angeles. I personally love her designs and would definitely wear one of her peices.
Here are some of her designs on the runway:
