Coco Rocha, born Mikhaila Rocha, is a canadian fashion model. She is currently signed to Wilhelmina Models. She was discovered at an Irish Dancing competition when she was approached by an agent named Charles Stuart. Her mother kept rejecting the offer until she caved in. When Rocha started, she said she had no knowledge of fashion or designers and had asked her friends to help her out. In 2007, she was featured alongside of Chanel Iman, Doutzen Kroes, Agyness Deyn and others as the new generation of supermodels. She has been featured for several campaigns including: Versace, Lanvin, YSL, Dolce and Gabbana, Calvin Klein, Rimmel and Zac Posen.
In an interview with Zac Posen during this years New York Fashion Week, Posen made a comment on Rocha. He commented saying the two were extremely close friends and Rocha has worked for everything she has received.My favorite thing about Rocha is definitely her poses. She knows how to pose. In my opinion, she is one of the best models because of her body language. She can create different facial expressions and moves her body. She knows what modeling is. I also adore her voice on body positivity and eating disorders. She has been told in her career that she need to loose weight because of the anorexia trend. I love how she opposes it and is working to help people in those situations. She also has campaigns for photo-shop free works and help human trafficking. I think these works she does goes to show that she is not just a pretty face in your magazine and she is a real person who cares about real issues.
"Every sweet, humble young model is only one campaign away from becoming a fashion monster." - Coco Rocha
