Coco's loco for gizmos!

The Face coach Coco Rocha may have shot to fame as a top model hawking luxe designer wear, but the 24-year-old admits to being a tech geek at heart.

Her latest obsession? "My mini iPad," she told us recently backstage at New York Fashion Week.

"I'm obsessed with anything that's tech—I love tech," she raved. So much so, it seems, that she's willing to trade frocks for gadgets.

"Sometimes I would rather have tech over clothes any day," she says. "When I hear there's something new out there, I wanna see it. I get the chance to play around with new tablets and new phones all the time, and I love it."

As for what apps she's currently filling that iPad Mini with, she says she's hooked on the video-sharing app Vine.

"It's a great tool especially here at the [fashion] shows," she explains. "A few edits of video, which is perfect for people to see what's going on, and you can upload it instantly. So that's kind of my new thing, too."

Gorgeous and geek-chic? We're so sold on the gal.
