COCO ROCHA
Coco was discovered in 2002 at the age of 14 at an Irish dance competition and it took some persuasion to get her to model. However, when Coco Rocha graced the catwalk for the first time in 2006, just four years later, she went right from unknown to top model!
In January 2006, the 18-year-old opened the Christian Lacroix Show in Paris, after which she was booked a few weeks later in the New York shows by Anna Sui, Marc Jacobs and more. In the Fall, she walks the Chanel haute couture show and opens the Balenciaga show in Paris. It is not just the runway for Coco. She graced the covers of magazines like Dazed & Confused, Numéro and Italian Vogue. Fashion photographer Steven Meisel was enthusiastic about the brown-haired beauty with the classic, strict facial features and the narrow, ice-blue eyes and took her exclusively under contract. This meant that the young model was to receive enormous attention in the fashion world within a very short time and would become the new shooting star. Coco is a perfectionist and absolute darling of the media - she is happy to pass on her extensive knowledge of social media and, of course, her famed skill - posing. Her second book has now been published, she founded “The Coco Rocha Model Camp” and, as a guest instructor, is an important part of our MODELWERK Academy.
