COCO... Rocha !!

My second favorite famous Coco is a miss Coco Rocha. For those of you who do not know her, she is a famous model. She has done all of the high fashion magazines like Vogue, but also does the fun more adolescent ones like Nylon. The specific picture I chose(above) is from Vogue April 2008. It was a message to all the readers to keep an eye out for the upcoming superhero blockbusters. That same year, other magazines recreated Disney fairy tales to get the same feeling. For example, Gisele Bundchen did a older/ more modern day version of Peter Pan with the famous ballet turned actor Mikhail Baryshnikov. They were the perfect pair in my opinion because Gisele has always had that mystical/ mermaid look to her and Mikhail has the best ballet legs out there. That's what happens when you join the Kirov Ballet of Leningrad at a very young age. Anyway, back to Coco... This famous picture from Vogues April 2008 issue was strictly a way to turn movie goers into fashionista's. I think for Vogue, they did quite well in that aspect. The main thing that struck me was the colors. Her hair is a blazing red/ orange and her dress a gorgeous aqua/ teal with hints of royal blue. Then the detail; the gloves, the evil points at the top of her strapless dress, the butterflies/ leaves in her hair(can't make it out), the waves in and out of her dress make you feel like your looking at a dark sea, the way her fingers are spread to show she will not back down in the face of fear, the arch in her back shows that she is positioned to fight to death like a true hero, the heels give off a strong but fierce vibe and last but definitely not least... THE BOOK! The book shows everything else that you do not see from Coco. They are the perfect combination for this particular spread. This was the most creative spread I have ever seen. She's like a fictional character in a pop up book and you can't look away. If this was an actual book, ever person(not just child) would have it across the world. I chose her for that specific reason. You CAN"T look away! I know why they chose her to do the spread, now I hope all of you do as well =)



I had to add the Peter Pan picture I discussed above... FLAWLESS!!!


I hope you all enjoy your little Coco lesson! Keep an eye out for her in magazines. She's everywhere!!
