Project Runway Season 9 designer, Bert Keeter, talks about Tucson Fashion Week and his newest collection, KORE.
A highlight:
BPR: What is new for TFW this year?
BK:
It is always evolving. This year we are holding the fashion show in a
beautiful restored theater in downtown Tucson. Also we are having a
Project Runway Showcase featuring five Project Runway designers.
BPR: How did you determine the designers that have been chosen for the Project Runway Showcase?
BK: We were looking for great designers with strong fan bases. All of these designers have been All-Stars, except for me...
BPR: ...A serious oversight....
BK: Peach creates modern separates and she is just a lot of fun to
be around. Mila is more edgy. Daniel is very glamorous - he creates
very special pieces, and Korto also creates very beautiful
day-to-evening looks.

Project Runway All-Star, Korto Momolu presented her
Spring 2015 collection, "Rebirth" at New York Fashion Week on Monday
Sept. 8th.
She is also preparing for the "Project Runway Showcase" at Tucson Fashion Week on October 18th.
Korto sends her love to everyone at BPR and gave us an interview this morning.
A highlight:
BPR: Please tell us about your Spring 2015 collection.
KM:
The collection is called "Rebirth." As you know, I just had a baby,
and I wanted to sort of start fresh. I was thinking about "my girl" and
her journey. She not in college any more - she is growing up! So I
thought about what she wanted to say and how she wanted to be
perceived.
I kept my silhouette, but amped it
up a little bit. The color palette is calm, smooth and soft. The baby
blue of course represented my baby boy. There were a few shockers with
the bright orange, but for the most part it was like a breeze - a calm
summer breeze.
BPR: How many looks did you present at NYFW?
KM: I did twenty-three.
BPR: Will you be showing these looks at TFW, or will we see new looks?
KM:
I will show this collection - hopefully all 23 looks. For those who
can't get to New York Fashion Week, they will have the opportunity to
see the collection in a calmer environment.
