The Daily caught up with Coco Rocha last night at the New York Times Center during the 3rd annual Supima Design Competition, where she announced the evening’s winner, Gina DeSilva. Rocha, clad in a frock designed by last year’s winner, Victor de Souza, explained that she can really relate to the contestants and their pre-show jitters, as she is also in the process of launching her own collection; although, she’s zipping her lip when it comes to revealing the name of the upcoming line. “I can’t even give you a clue, cause it’s so good!” she laughed. “Actually, we really can’t talk about the line’s name because it’s still in the final, last-minute phase with lawyers putting things together. I’m hoping that in 2010 I will have my own presentation in September. But I can tell you that I love the 1800s, costume-y, but elegant, Victorian-inspired clothes. When you wear that style out today, it’s definitely considered costume. I’m trying to take pieces and elements of that era and put it into a modern woman. I also believe 100% that we need affordable clothing. High fashion affordable—that is my big goal for this coming summer.”
