British- Nigerian Designer Dele Olowu unveils Autumn winter 2012 Collections at New-York Fashion Week

Described as *Prints Charming*, our own fabulous Duro Olowu showed off his Autumn/Winter 2012 eclectic collections at the New York Fashion Week. The very colourful and bold prints he chose to use clearly revealed why Michelle Obama continuously rocks his outfits. Since arriving on the London fashion scene in 2004, Nigerian-born Duro Olowu has impressed the right people with his vibrant mix of African prints, seventies tailoring, and unlikely color combos. A high-waisted patchwork boho dress—known as the “Duro”—put the brand on the fashion map, and became a cult item in 2005 after being discovered by American Vogue editor Sally Singer and Julie Gilhart of Barneys.You go Man!
