Perched on a see-saw in a grand taffeta ball gown lined in acres of tulle, Coco Rocha is slipping, almost falling. But that doesn’t compromise her poise; she tries a funny face (very Audrey Hepburn), surprise and a cool couture profile as she lengthens her leg just so.

In the photo studio, a macaw, or maybe it was the cockatoo, shrieks.

The crew is used to this by now and nobody flinches.

Supermodel Rocha, who grew up in Vancouver, was in Montreal last week to shoot Ogilvy’s spring catalogue, and six exotic birds were among the props, along with the see-saw and a swing.

At 21, Rocha has got it all — an apartment in New York’s Gramercy Park area, a boyfriend and a modelling portfolio to die for with covers and campaigns for the top magazines and fashion houses shot by the greats of the day. Mentored by photographer Steven Meisel at the start of her career, she’s the face of Rimmel London, along with Kate Moss and Lily Donaldson.

Coco was ranked #59 on AskMen.com’s Top 99 Women of 2010 list.

Victoria’s Secret and Sports Illustrated models are one thing, but haute couture models aren’t exactly the easiest sell when it comes to a male audience, unless, of course, this was Out magazine. Nevertheless, British Columbian Coco Rocha sits quite comfortably on this list at No. 59. Maybe it’s because she came into the profession accidentally after being discovered while competing in an Irish dancing competition in her early teens in Vancouver, or that she admittedly doesn’t care for Paris (a fashion world faux pas if there ever as one) or that her hometown friends had to quiz her on designers when she got started in the biz, but her quirky and sometimes goofy demeanor adds a refreshing sincerity to the fashion world. At 21 years old, she’s already an industry vet, modeling for the likes of Jean Paul Gaultier and Chanel. She might think that the word “supermodel” is something that belongs in the long lost era of the ‘90s, but Coco is proof that a model can still go by just her first name, if she’s in a league of her own.
