Coco Rocha needs no introduction. She has covered publications worldwide – including GRAZIA International – and has walked over 30 seasons of New York Fashion Week. The 33-year-old was also recently named Global Education Director for an organization, Elite Model Look.
Overnight, the Canadian model returned to fashion week runway for Christian Siriano, just three months after giving birth to her third child. Rocha appeared on the runway in a stunning black gown with a deep V neck, puffy sleeves and a voluminous skirt, as well as in a floor-length coat as part of Siriano’s Fall 2021 collection. Rocha was seven months pregnant when she last walked for the designer’s Spring / Summer 2021 show in September.
It is a testament to Rocha ‘s remarkable work ethic. But we already knew…
In September of 2019, with just minutes left before it was folded GRAZIA a cover bullet at the top of the Brooklyn Naval Yard in New York, Rocha suggested grabbing a ladder and tying herself up on a mast hook.
“It’s not always easy, to be honest,” admitted the Canadian-born model GRAZIAJessica Bailey. “Mothers sometimes have to draw their energy from thin air, especially when you’ve had a sleepless night with a sick baby and then you have to accumulate the energy for a whole day, it’s sad. But being around my kids is inspiring and refreshing for me, even though there is a lot of work to do. It’s not always easy to attach everything to it, but I love being around them all the time. “
“As models, we only have our faces and bodies to tell a whole story, often in one minute. Since we can’t rely on words or sounds, I think we’re a bit like silent film stars, ”explained Rocha. “On the runway or in shoes, I like it when a designer or a designer gives me so much information about the person they want me to represent so that I can really get in on it. If they don’t give me any background, I’ll make up one. I know some models just look and look great, but I was never so lucky. ”
The result was, as might be expected, perfection.
