If the past efforts of models designing clothing are anything to go by then we here at Secret Sales HQ will be welcoming in the new offerings from Coco Rocha with open arms.
The Canadian becomes the latest in a string of models-turned-designers, with Kate Moss, Heidi Klum and Amber Valletta all having constructed popular clothing collections for brands ranging from Longchamp to Topshop.
Coco revealed one of the pieces from her range – which is available from September onwards – at last weekend’s Grammy awards.
She dazzled crowds in a navy satin Victorian-inspired gown with gold-plated shoulders that featured a fun mini skirt peeking out from under the dress.
But if you’re expecting futuristic fashion from this catwalk queen then you’d be wrong. She said: "I can tell you that I love the 1800s, costume-y, but elegant, Victorian-inspired clothes."
"I’m trying to take pieces and elements of that era and put it into a modern woman."
The model hopes to present the collection at New York fashion week in September and has stated that her goal is to keep the high-fashion range affordable.
Kate Moss’s most recent designing attempts for luxury French leather brand Longchamp were showcased last week at a launch party held at The Ritz in Paris.
What do you think of the recent trend of models-turned-desingers?
