Coco Rocha

Coco Rocha Biography

Coco Rocha (born September 10, 1988 in Toronto, Ontario) is a professional Canadian Irish dancer turned supermodel.

During Jean Paul Gaultier's Fall/Winter 2007 show in February 2007, Rocha famously opened the show by Irish-dancing down the runway, showcasing her talents outside of modeling. This event, along with Hilary Rhoda walking for Balenciaga in 2006, was cited in US Vogue as the indication that "supermodels" have returned.

In the May 2007 issue of US Vogue she was featured on the cover with fellow models Doutzen Kroes, Caroline Trentini, Raquel Zimmermann, Sasha Pivovarova, Agyness Deyn, Jessica Stam, Hilary Rhoda, Chanel Iman, and Lily Donaldson as the new crop of supermodels.

Coco Rocha also appeared on the cover of the 2006 TIME Style&Design issue with fellow top model Du Juan.

She works with modeling agencies Charles Stuart Agency (her mother agency), Elite Model Management, Why Not Model Agency, and Marilyn Agency.
