Coco Rocha
The New York Times just ran an article titled "
A Model's Prospects: Slim and None." The focus of this article was on both Coco Rocha and the modeling industry's obsession with thinness. First off, I applaud Coco and the NYTimes for bringing up this problem, but I felt that the article was watered down. The author, Guy Trebay, basically downplays Rocha's career alluding it to being equivalent to resume "paragraphs." For one, she started her career in 2004 which puts her at a current and very successful 6 years. Rocha is one of Vogue's darlings that they correctly predicted to be one of "The World's Next Top Models." She's landed numerous exclusive covers, advertisements, and editorials and walked for some of the industry's top names (and quite a few as the opener). Currently, Rocha is a correspondent for
Modelina.com, dabbling with her own clothing line
Rococo, as well as hosts Fashion Week TV. Personally, I love her. I think it's great that she isn't limiting herself to modeling. We Zombies also like that she's Canadian and we enjoy her
blog.
