Supima Design Competition 2011 Fashion Show Teaser

Supima's fourth annual Design Competition was held September 8, 2011 in New York at the Lincoln Center during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week.

For this Supima Design Competition, four of America's top design schools were asked to select two finalists from among their graduating seniors. Each finalist was asked to create a capsule collection of women's eveningwear gowns from premium Supima denims, knits, corduroys, twills, and shirting.

This year's eight finalists included: Amy Lynn Bittner and Jusil Carroll from the Fashion Institute of Technology; MaRu Jung and Dara Rosen from Pratt Institute; Rachel Pullman and Connie Weng from the Rhode Island School of Design; and Lorena Cuevas Restrepo and Marlow Larson from the Savannah College of Art and Design.

A prestigious panel of judges was on hand to decide the winner: Gilt Groupe founder Alexandra Wilkis Wilson; model and entrepreneur Coco Rocha; Bloomingdale's VP of Men's Fashion Kevin Harter; and designers Nicole Miller and Charlotte Ronson. The winner, Jusil Carroll of FIT, was announced at the completion of the show and received a $10,000 cash award.
