Coco Rocha has gone from Irish-dancing down a runway at couture week to becoming a guiding light in today’s competitive modelling world. Amy Yasmine catches up with the Queen of Pose in Paris, who in an exclusive interview, shares her greatest achievements, parenthood, and life before #MeToo.
“I’ll never forget [the moment I was first scouted], because it all just seemed so absurd to me!” Rocha recalls, detailing how Vancouver-based agent Charles Stuart discovered her at an Irish dance competition. “All my friends burst out laughing!” she shares. “Of all of us, I was the last one anyone thought could model. We all had this idea that models were these sexy glamazons, and I was a tall, lanky teen who liked to wear sneakers and oversized sweaters!” A far cry from the statuesque beauty that stands in front of us today, having arrived on set in Paris’ 20th arrondissement wearing a wraparound miniskirt, mesh tee, and yellow bomber jacket.
