In last night's new episode of Project Runway, the 16 designers were tasked with creating a look that personifies the Marie Claire reader (someone who's confident, sexy, and fashion-forward, natch). Gretchen Jones, 28, won for the second time in a row with her arresting, versatile navy linen jumpsuit. Her prize? A 40-foot-tall billboard in Times Square with her piece modeled by none other than Coco Rocha!
MC's senior fashion editor, Zanna Roberts Rassi, chats with Jones about the inspiration for her look at New York City's Milk Studios. "It was important for me to create something that really embodied day to night," the 28-year-old designer of an oh-so-sexy (and oh-so-Coco!) cleavage-revealing snap.
For more on Gretchen's vision and to see Coco get goofy at the photo shoot, watch the exclusive video above.
