Celebrates Future Chic Amidst Modern Times
New York, NY – The iconic New York City art deco fashion hotel, Bryant
Park Hotel celebrates New York Fashion Week by presenting womenswear designer, Korto
Momolu’s collection entitled “Monaco”.
The 14 piece collection will showcase Monday,
February 13th, from 3pm - 5pm at Bryant Park Hotel’s own Cellar Bar. Music will be
provided by Man vs. Machine’s own Charles Browne and International YouTube and iTunes
Sensation Jessica Latshaw will perform "Ain't My Friend". An assortment of custom drinks will
be served courtesy of Patron Tequila.
Expanding on the designer’s vision of femininity, elegance and futurism, this Autumn/Winter
2012 season draws inspiration from starlets, fashion icons, and jetsetters whose wardrobe would
include glamorous evening gowns, stylish jumpsuits, warm yet sophisticated sweaters, and day
dresses in opulent silks. Korto’s pieces will allow any woman, of all sizes, to feel comfortable,
sophisticated, sensual and feminine.
Grace Kelly & Bridget Bardot epitomize the chic quality of Monaco and encompass the theme
of this season’s inspiration. Today’s Jetset can be found in this collection whilst scooting down
the smallest of side streets a top Evolve Motorcycles. Evolve, one of the official sponsors for this
season is an extension of Korto's vision of the future in modern times with a nod to eco-friendly
living. Evolve means 100% Electric; the vehicles themselves explore a new technology that
allows for no gas, no oil, and no emissions that are harmful to the planet. Evolve vehicles will be
displayed in the space alongside the models and will be available for preview and inquiries.
In honor of this special occasion Korto has organized an amazing cast including celebrity stylist
Misa Hylton, jewelry designer Simone I. Smith (wife of LL COOL J), lead Makeup Sponsor
