Hard to find his biography... So this is all I could come up with...
Duro Olowu, 44 is a Nigerian, London based Designer who began his career as a lawyer before getting into design. His signature dresses with vivid prints and bright colours caught the eye of the US and British vogue editor. He eventually won the 'new designer of the year' award at the 2005 British Fashion Awards. He is influenced by both the culture of Lagos, Nigeria (his home town) and London, England.
Last year he was given the International Designer of the Year Award at the 2010 Africa Fashion Awards, In Johannesburg.
