Bio
Korto Momolu is a Liberian-born American fashion designer best known as a contestant on the fifth season of the reality competition television series Project Runway, in 2008.
Originally from Liberia, Korto moved to Canada to attend fashion school. After school, she moved outside of Little Rock, Arkansas, where she now resides with her husband and daughter.
Drawing from her African roots, Korto infuses tribal details into her classic designs. She is inspired by rich fabrics and textures and says her designs are intended for real, full-figured women.
In her spare time, Korto works as a freelance fashion photographer, dances in an African dance troupe and does African hair braiding and makeup.
She says her family considers her to be fun and easygoing.
