dresses in opulent silks. Korto’s pieces will allow any woman, of all sizes, to feel comfortable, 
sophisticated, sensual and feminine.

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

 ABOUT

NINH NGUYEN was born and raised in Paris, France, grew up in Texas where he studied medicine and psychology, and now resides in New York City making his mark on men’s fashion. His philosophy on creating clothes starts with precise proportions, continues with the drape of select fabric, and ends with a touch of art. Your personal style is what makes you different from everyone else. You choose how to portray yourself to the world by deciding what looks good on you and how you combine fabrics while mixing colorways. The clothes make the person which evokes a silent expression. It raises your self-esteem, makes you confident and builds character, while in all modesty enhances the individual. But aside from knowing what looks good, you have to feel comfortable in the clothes you wear. It's not what you wear, it's how you wear it.
The NINH label is for the modest, confident man, the intellectual and cultured, the passionate and open-minded – a modern-day Renaissance man.  
Dress without taste and they will remember the clothes.  Dress with taste and they will remember the man.
