Mikhaila “Coco” Rocha is seen gracing the cover of Vogue, walking runways in Paris, Milan and New York, appearing in ad campaigns for Chanel & YSL.
She is known as one of the first “digital” supermodels and is known for her advocacy for younger models.
As an author, she collaborated on the 2014 book Study of Pose. Rocha is also the founder of the Coco Rocha Model Camp and co-owner of the Nomad Management Modeling Agency.
Nigel Barker, “she’s a smart girl… dynamic in front of the camera. …..it’s the reason people love her.”
In 2014 Rocha released the book Study of Pose with photographer Steven Sebring, an encyclopedia of 1000 poses modeled by Rocha, including those from Rocha’s own influences like Botticelli’s Venus and Jessica Rabbit.
In June 2016, Rocha took a management and ownership stake at Nomad Mgmt Modeling Agency and served as the brand director for the agency. In her new role, Rocha works with models to help them develop strategies for their career.
Rocha privately trained models entering the fashion industry, such as Kendall and Kylie Jenner, through one-on-one consultations. In July 2018 Rocha opened the Coco Rocha Model Camp in a renovated 8,000 square foot property that can house about a dozen model students at a time.
Rocha has also taught the program at Harvard University.
