Famous for her striking features, fierce walk and bubbly personality, Toronto-born Coco Rocha may be an international supermodel—not to mention Vogue magazine darling and model muse to the likes of Steven Meisel and Jean Paul Gaultier—but the 21-year-old is careful not to let the attention go to her head. “I’m one of those funny girls that didn’t know what a supermodel was, nor did I know they even existed,” she laughs. “From the beginning I never expected anything, I took it very step by step and I think that’s the best way to do it because I was just thrilled with each new thing.”

And despite her supermodel status, Coco isn’t about to rest on her laurels now. In fact, she may just be the hardest working girl in the biz. Between fittings, fashion shows and magazine shoots, Coco somehow finds time to charm industry heavy-weights as a correspondent with Entertainment Tonight and E! Talk, design her own fashion line, ROCOCO, which she hopes to debut at the end of this year and plan her upcoming nuptials to muralist/interior designer James Conran. “It’s a busy time but I have a lot of people who support me and help me out so I’m really lucky!” she says.

After the frenzy of Paris Fashion Week—where she rocked the runway for coveted shows a la Chanel, Christian Dior, Louis Vuitton and of course Jean Paul Gaultier—Coco took time out to tackle our infamous Model DNA questionnaire and giving us the scoop on her plans for the big day.

Coco Rocha might have just happily accepted her engagement ring from James Conran–but she’s already finalizing her big wedding day. “I’m getting married in three months,” she told us backstage at Dior. “I can’t believe it actually, but I’m so excited.” And where will the ceremony happen? “We getting married right here in France,” the model told The Daily. “A friend has this beautiful house here so we’ll bring everyone here!” As for the dress? “I know exactly what’s it going to look like and who’s making it, but it hasn’t actually been produced yet. But the time is ticking!”
