This from Rhonda Reeves a NLR resident over at CanvasJunkie.com about a local designer on the TV show Project Runway which aired episode 4 last night.

At the beginning I thought .....What's up........ Korto is a focal point from the start of this episode and it just continued. The new challange...... design a women's outfit US athletes for opening ceremony of the Olympics. Korto chose super lite weight leather and linen. Her design is sophiscated, sleek modern. Wooo Hooo! I'm betting on Korto as the winner of this challange!!! Yesssssssssss!!!! Way to go Girl!!! Korto is the winner of this challange!

For those who have not heard of Korto, she is a local designer, who is currently on Project Runway. Korto has been featured in almost every local magazine and newspaper in Arkansas. A Mabelvale resident for about 8 years, Korto has designed fashions and produced some of the most professional New York style fashion shows here in the past few years. If you shop the artsy boutiques in the Hillcrest area you've probably seen her designs and if your fashion conscious and love a hip fresh style maybe you have one of her designs hanging in your closet.

She attended fashion design I believe in NY. I understand she will also have her studio in the Argenta Art Studios located in the 1st Presbyterian Church on 4th and Maple.
