She’s known throughout the world as one of the best, and now Coco Rocha is stopping by MuchOnDemand. The Canadian-born model, who has taken the fashion world by storm, returns home to strut the runway with her friends from Elite Models at Strut For A Cure. But before she slips on her heels, Rocha heads to MuchMusic’s Toronto HQ on Wednesday May 26 at 5 p.m. ET to chat about her second annual charity fashion event.
Coco Rocha’s meteoric rise in the fashion industry began when she was discovered by a modeling scout at an Irish dancing competition in 2002. Since then, the Canadian supermodel has graced the covers of FASHION, Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, W, Numero and V Magazines. Rocha brings her legendary high energy to Toronto on May 27 with Strut For A Cure benefitting Coast-to-Coast Against Cancer.

As far as symbols of ’80s excess go, it’s hard to beat Cindy Crawford (she of big hair and voluptuous — by model standards, anyway — body) and MCM (Mode Creation Munich), the Euro leather goods brand, whose flashy logoed caramel-colored bags gave even Gucci and Louis Vuitton a run for their money. (Did we mention this was the ’80s?) The MCM ads were equally flashy, featuring Crawford perched on a pile of suitcases or posing wearing nothing except a giant MCM logo. (If that weren’t enough, they were signed “I want my MCM” and “The beginning of a beautiful friendship.” Awwww.) And while you might think that such naked consumption went the way of the world economy, you would think wrong. Not only has the brand been on a store opening spree with 15 new Saks Fifth Avenue boutiques and a Beverly Hills Rodeo Drive boutique scheduled for later this year, but it has signed on as a sponsor for New York fashion week. MCM is even recreating its Cindy Crawford campaign, this time around with the model Coco Rocha. Under the circumstances, the images are a bit more modest — Rocha’s mane is tamed down, and she’s wearing a bustier dress — but the message is not lost.

Well – here’s some news to start your week off right! Loveable, sweet, and stunning supermodel Coco Rocha got engaged this weekend to her boyfriend James Conran. During Fashion Week in New York, the lovebirds were seen canoodaling around town and at parties, hanging out together backstage at shows, and giggling and holding hands on the street. She took to the web this morning to share her good news saying, “I don’t think I’ve been so happy as I am now. I can’t wait to start the rest of my life with him.”
The duo are classically in love – they act like best friends, kiss for no good reason, and are generally grinning from ear to ear whenever they are together – we know this first hand since we got a chance to spend time with the couple while Coco was filming Modelinia Fashion Week TV. We are thrilled that she has found the happiness she deserves! Congrats, Coco and James! And we can’t wait to see the dress! We wonder if she will design it herself as part of her new fashion line, Rococo?

Veronica Webb and Canadian model Coco Rocha will team up for a new, temporary gig. They’ll be hosting Fashion Week TV, a broadcast of live coverage from the Bryant Park tents produced by “Project Runway” creators Modelinia.com. “Fashion Week is a hive of activity, and we want to make sure that New Yorkers have an all-access pass,” Modelinia founder Desiree Gruber tells Page Six. Their show will air on municipal station NYC Life.

Along with yesterday’s news that Coco Rocha was chosen to star in Zac Posen’s new ads for Fanzine 137 as well as the ongoing obsession that Hudson Jeans has with Georgia May Jagger, yet another brand has fallen in love with the two.
Rimmel London, which has featured Kate Moss and Lily Cole in their ads, just signed their two newest ambassadors, and Modelinia is thrilled that the beauty brand is continuing their model connection.
Watch for ads to land in 2010!

Models are no strangers to art parties. But now Coco Rocha is taking her involvement in the craft to a new level, as she’ll pair with Mad Men’s Bryan Batt to host the first young patron’s gala at the Museum of Art and Design.
Come October 14, the supermodel and actor will welcome guests to the Paperball with tunes by Harley Viera Newton. This first look toward a younger audience of art lovers will celebrate the new exhibit “Slash: Paper Under the Knife” full of creations made out of paper.
To continue the trend, designers and artists, including Matthew Williamson, Craig McDean, James Rosenquist, Issey Miyake, Gemma Kahng, Slava Mogutin, Donald Deal, Yeohlee Teng, and Lela Rose, created dresses and accessories from paper. So does this mean the dress code will be paper-made as well?
