Sankofa Fashion Show

So, I am still having a hard time finding pictures of the Korto Momolu garments from the Sankofa Fashion Show held in Liberia back in May, but here is one with some of the designs. This pic is from a different show by the way. Below are some pics of some of the hairstyles that were used in the Liberia show. These were taken back stage. Enjoy!

Miss Liberia is London Bound

Miss Liberia 2010 Meenakshi Subramani (the homie) left Liberia two days ago for the Miss World 2011 Pageant in London. This will be the first time Miss Liberia has participated in the pageant since 2007. The program will be held on November 6, 2011. Let's go Meenakshi, get em!

Liberian Royalty



How fabulous is it the Africa's first perfumer is a Liberian? Model, beauty queen, and business woman Tammie Garr introduced her luxury fragrance Royalty to the world in 2010. According to Liberia Travel & Life Magazine the perfume "exudes self confidence, sensuality, and unquestionable seduction". Ingredients include vanilla, sandalwood, jasmine, and lilies. I'm def interested in purchasing, if my nose agrees. Has anyone out there tried it?

Zutin

Just to give everybody a heads up "zutin" is a word Liberians use that basically means "stuntin" fashion wise, hence the reason all of my fashion posts will be titled Zutin.

With that said, during Fashion Week (and Fashion Month) I search high and low on all of my favorite fashion blogs for the Korto Momolu (Liberian Project Runway contestant and fashion designer that put us on the fashion map) Spring 2012 Collection. To my surprise it was nowhere to be found. For all of you out there that haven't had a chance to see it yet this is my gift to you.

I had the pleasure of meeting Mrs. Momolu when she graced Liberia in May of this year. She showcased designs for The Sankofa Fashion Show hosted by Amani Liberia. I haven't seen any of the designs from that show on her website, but I am on a mission of finding them for you to see. Until next post click here to see the rest of the Korto Momolu Spring 2012 collection.
