Coco Rocha is the New Face of Dennis Basso
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Fashion Designers, Models,
The 23-year-old beauty - whom Basso says he "fell in love with" after she wore a pantsuit bought at the Elizabeth Taylor auction - found herself modelling a $250,000 mink in 100-degree heat on the Essex Steam Train in Connecticut this week. According to the New York Post, Basso remarked Coco was "the only person on set not sweating."
Although the pair met at the Met Gala, Coco recently revealed she found attending the New York event more "daunting" than any other bash: "Of all the events, I have to say the Met Gala red carpet is most daunting. You have cameras on both sides of you all the way up a red-carpeted staircase. If you turn to one side, the other side boos. You really can't win. Once people learn your name they all begin screaming for you. I've made the mistake in years gone by of showing up a little late to the event, right when the Beyonces and J. Los of the world are having their moment - then you have photographers screaming for you to get out of the way! So this year I came nice and early."

Coco Rocha’s Photoshop Fury
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Editorials, Models,
Coco Rocha has hit out after a magazine allegedly Photoshopped images of her.
The stunning model appears on the front cover of Elle Brazil in a plunging skin-tight dress, which reveals lots of skin and cleavage. However, Coco claims she was wearing a body suit under the dress to protect her modesty but it had been edited out and took to her Tumblr account to speak of her upset.
"As a high fashion model I have long had a policy of no nudity or partial nudity in my photo shoots. For my recent Elle Brazil cover shoot I wore a body suit under a sheer dress which I now find was photoshopped out to give the impression of me showing much more skin than I was, or am comfortable with.
''This was specifically against my expressed verbal and written direction to the entire team that they not do so. I'm extremely disappointed that my wishes and contract was ignored. I strongly believe every model has a right to set rules for how she is portrayed and for me these rules were clearly circumvented."

The Chanel designer has created a limited edition bottle for release in France, made in aluminium and featuring his own silhouette (would it really have been anything else?). As well as designing the bottles, he also shot the advertising campaign starring models Coco Rocha and Baptiste Giacobini.

Another model catches the designing bug: Coca Rocha is set to launch her own clothing line.
The Canadian supermodel declared on her blog she plans to create her own range, and has even posted a picture of herself sketching some of the garments in her New York apartment.
She wrote on her blog: “I have decided to start my own line!”
The sketch - which shows a bracelet sleeved jacket being worn with a pencil skirt - suggests her collection will be true to her signature style of ladylike sophistication. The 21-year-old also wrote she needed some help: “I need your suggestions on what my line’s name should be. Please leave your comments, and I’ll be happy to look at your suggestions.”

Rimmel Recruits Coco Rocha and Georgia Jagger
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Health & Beauty, Models, News, Women,
Step aside, Grandma
Kate Moss—rock daughter Georgia Jagger and it girl Coco Rocha are signing their faces away to represent cosmetic giant Rimmel London.
Set to front the Spring/Summer ‘10 campaign, the pair sound like a bit of an odd coupling; however, senior vice president of global marketing at Coty Beauty Stephen Mormoris doesn’t think so:
“We needed a wider palette of faces to show the makeup results of our new products… Rimmel embodies the London look, which is very resonant with young people all over the world who look to London as a centre of multiculturalism and freedom of expression.”
It’s obvious why Rocha was brought on board; Jagger was picked for being “edgy, experimental and provocative.” I’m sure it has nothing to do with her parentage…
Mormoris also revealed that the company plans to bring three more models to the campaign by January—guaranteeing that each will be of different ethnic background. We’ll be keeping you to your word, Mormoris.
