"  Designer Christian Cota presented his first ever holiday collection last night, with friend and Ugly Betty star Ana Ortiz by his side. Cota, looking all aglow after a trip home to the beaches of Mexico, can also count Leighton Meester, Blake Lively, Eva Longoria Parker, and Rose Byrne as loyal fans. The new collection, available through his just-launched e-commerce site starting today, has a heartfelt back-story. After seeing a CNN special on Doc Hendley (founder of Wine to Water, a nonprofit which provides clean water through the sale of wine, and a 2009 CNN Hero), Cota was inspired to get involved. The result: party-ready dresses, sequin skirts, and the perfect chic and cheap gift\u2014a limited edition hand-painted T-shirt for women and men, which retails for $60 (Cota will donate 25 percent of sales to Wine for Water).
