Supima, the nonprofit organization that promotes the use of American grown Pima cotton, will sponsor the 14th annual Supima Design Competition, hosted by Law Roach. Students from design universities across the U.S. will showcase eveningwear capsule collections created with Supima cotton fabrics on Sept. 9 during New York Fashion Week.
The competition provides students both visibility and a chance at a financial prize of $10,000 awarded to the winner. Roach, a style and image consultant, is returning for his second year as host. He will emcee the live fashion show and be joined by this year’s panel of 17 judges who include Nicola Formichetti, Fern Mallis, Edward Barsamian, Luke Meagher, Kelly Augustine, Avril Graham and the 2016 SDC winner, Jeffrey Taylor.
