Coco Rocha Singing In Cavalli Short Film Is Pretty Impressive (VIDEO)

Leave a comment

By The Huffington Post News Editors

Just as many models have crossed over into acting , plenty of models try their hand at singing. Some do it well (what’s up, Karen Elson); others, not so much.

Coco Rocha is the latest to dabble in the vocal arts, teaming up with Roberto Cavalli for a short film called “Coco Cavalli.” Shot in partnership with Hunger magazine, the video features a Cavalli-clad Ms. Rocha doing her best Jack White impression while rocking out to pretty catchy tune.

We already knew she was multi-talented — have you seen the girl Irish dance? Plus, the 24-year-old has already branched out with her mentor gig on “The Face” and has mentioned that she would love to get into acting. Think she’ll join the ranks of Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Brooklyn Decker and make Hollywood her next destination?

Coco Rocha, in Case You Didn't Know, Is Also a Singer

Consider Coco Rocha a quadruple threat. Even if doesn’t like to call herself a supermodel, she’s widely known for her prowess as a dancer and a television personality, and now she’s putting her singing skills to professional use, too.

Rocha is the star of a new video touting an editorial upcoming issue of Hunger Magazine called “Coco + Cavalli.” The two-minute clip features Rocha dancing and posing in Roberto Cavalli‘s Spring 2013 collection, but it also sees her singing a short song called “I Wanna,” which was written specifically for this video. The vibe of the video, produced by Hunger‘s editor in chief John Rankin Waddell, is decidedly more rock-and-roll than Irish jig. But if Rocha has proven anything in her career, it’s that she can take on any assignment and make it look easy.

Watch It Right Here: The First Full Episode of The Face

Leave a comment

By Justin Fenner

“One photo has the power to make or break your career,” Naomi Campbell says during the first episode of The Face, in which a group of 24 hopeful models is whittled down to 12 competitors. “This is the reality of our modeling business.”

It’s a declaration that’s dramatic, but also true. Campbell’s message about the cutthroat nature of the business seems to be the thrust of the episode, which was released online a week ahead of its scheduled television debut.

Campbell and her fellow coaches Karolina Kurkova and Coco Rocha meet the girls during New York Fashion Week at the Spring 2013 show of fellow reality TV star Zac Posen. The coaches then put the two dozen young women through a series of tests, including a one-shot photo shoot and a runway challenge – eliminating girls who don’t pass muster along the way.

But it’s not all slash and burn. After the challenges, the coaches sit down with host Nigel Barker to assemble teams they think have a chance at winning the grand prize. A look at who makes the cut in the video below.

Despite Evidence to the Contrary, Coco Rocha Does Not Consider Herself a Supermodel

Leave a comment

By Christina Perez

She may have graced countless covers, editorials, and major campaigns, but Coco Rocha says that doesn’t mean she’s a supermodel.

“I cannot ever call myself a supermodel. That was an era in time – when Naomi worked – and those girls owned the industry,” Rocha explained in a recent interview with Time. “Nowadays, you do one cover and if it gets a lot of hype, you’re considered a supermodel.”

But even if she doesn’t consider herself in the same league as Cindy Crawford, Linda Evangelista, Helena Christensen, and Naomi Campbell – her cojudge in the upcoming modeling-contest TV show The Face – Rocha has definitely succeeded in building her brand the modern way. “For any model who starts today, they have to go with the flow of here and now – for me, it was embracing social media.” And boy, has she. The “nonsupermodel” currently has over 462,000 Twitter followers – and counting.

For that reason – and despite her protests – we can’t help but feel that Rocha is definitely a supermodel for this day and age. A look at all the gorgeous images that prove it, in the slideshow.
