PROJECT RUNWAY FINALIST KORTO MOMOLU BRINGS HER COLLECTION  TO CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA FOR “PASSION FASHION 09"

Charlotte, NC (June 15, 2009) – It’s often said that an extraordinary talent is a rarity, one that only comes along once in a lifetime.  Well, the time has arrived in the form of fashion designer and stylist Korto Momolu, the finalist from Bravo’s Project Runway and featured designer on BET’s Rip The Runway.

 Korto Momolu, a native of Liberia, West Africa, is heavily influenced by her African roots and expertly infuses tribal details into her eclectic designs. Inspired by the rich fabrics and textures that have become her signature, Korto asserts that her designs are intended for “real and sophisticated” women of all shapes and sizes. This style veteran stands out easily from the rest and has captured the attention of many VIP’s in the fashion industry. According to her fans, who already view her as a remarkable designer, Korto Momolu is more than ready to establish herself as a fashion icon and industry staple.

This forever “fan favorite” is making her way to the “Queen City” of Charlotte, NC for this year’s signature fashion event.  “Passion Fashion 09”, produced by Visionary Minds, is serving to gradually integrate the nation’s second largest financial center into a new business, the fashion industry.  Ms. Momolu will be showcasing her fall 2009 collection at this special affair and a sneak peek of what’s to come for 2010.  “I’ve always been an ardent lover of fashion, and I wanted to create a one-of-a-kind event in my city that celebrates this industry.  What better way to kick-off the 1st Annual Passion Fashion than with a designer who is not only fierce with her craft, but has the personality and character to match her talents as well,” states Narria Rice, President and CEO of Visionary Minds.

VIP ticket rates of $90 are available until June 20th; VIP includes front row seating, a $20 Visa Gift Card, a special meet and greet after the show, an autographed photo of the collection showcased on Project Runway, an opportunity to purchase garments from the fashion show, and a complimentary gift bag.  Regular tickets are available at the rate of $45.  Tickets can be purchase by visiting www.passionfashion09.wordpress.com or for event details call toll free at (877) 298-2220.
