Props to Duro Olowu!
By Kim Hastreiter


I always have to give a shout to my good friend and wonderful designer Duro Olowu, who showed his fresh line in London last week. I love what he does!!!!!! His collection this season reflected so many characteristics of his trademark colorful mish-mash of textures and colors and captured the elegance of African life and style (Duro is from Nigeria), especially the clashing prints, camous and layering, and highlighted his chic African-urban-inspired fashion sense.
Duro, who lives in London just got married last month here in New York City to my friend curator Thelma Golden (from the Studio Museum in Harlem) -- and I introduced them!!!! Check out these fresh looks (the whole show's on style.com). My favorite is the plaid coat with the floral pants, which I adored! Look how HOT these looks are.

these are fabulous!
I just read the news in Vogue and I'm so happy for them. I think Thelma Golden is amazing!
