FASHION DESIGNER OF THE WEEK: DURO OLOWU
Duro Olowu,
Nigerian born London-based designer, is known for his flowy dresses and bold
prints. He is a designer that one should become acquainted with because he
makes boho look oh-so-chic. Drawing his inspirations from vintage cuts and
fabrics as well as African prints, he creates the perfect silhouette.

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.
