The scene was set at the Broad Street Ballroom in New York&#8217;s Financial District and energy was high as these highly anticipated designs were finally revealed in dramatic fashion.  Day one started out with Korto Momolu to open the show.  Many were surprised to see that the last person to walk in Korto&#8217;s scene was a bride who was married right on the runway for everyone to witness.  KikoRomeo was up next followed by Gloria Wavamunno, Rouch, Blackbird Designs, Syl Anim, BebeGrafiti, and finally Jo Black Craze.  Seated front row to view all the new fashion was former member of B2K, Omarion and fashion guru, Ugo Mozie.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a
