I posted this on my new blog last night but for those of you who havent jumped ship to the tumblr side I thought I'd post this for you all: Letters to Haiti In our years as friends Behati and I have been on many trips and adventures together all around the world. This January we will be traveling together for a very special reason. You've probably heard me talk often about Lakay Pam and

This blog is migrating...

2010-11-22T20:56:00.002-05:00

If you're wondering where I've been lately I think THIS might explain it. I've slowly but surely been investigating and building a new blog on an entirely new platform - TUMBLR - http://oh-so-coco.tumblr.com/ I’ve picked tumblr as my new platform to blog from as I feel its much simpler and easier to manage and navigate. Everything of note that goes on my facebook and my twitter is blogged there

Exciting Projects

2010-10-22T00:01:00.000-04:00

I'm thankful for so many things in my career, but the one thing I'm most appreciative of is that I can use my position to try to help others. Over the last year I've had the pleasure to work with and get to know the good people who run Lakay Pam - an organization dedicated to helping children in Haiti meet their most basic needs. Over the next few months I'll have some exciting news to announce

MTV's Red Carpet Report

2010-09-27T07:57:00.003-04:00

Two weeks ago I told you I was skipping town on New York fashion week to go host the red carpet event for MTV's VMA's. Turns out it was actually a white carpet but needless to say, it was a very fun experience. For a few hours I was interviewing everyone you can think of and asking them any question I could think of. Really, I had no idea what I was doing but if you missed it I'm posting some of

Backstage Pass

2010-09-21T10:11:00.000-04:00

Two down, two to go. New York fashion week ended last Thursday and as usual, there was a little under 24 hours before London Fashion week began. Its so funny to go to the airport and see every model, stylist and editor you can imagine, all cramming onto flights from NY to the UK. I spent a few days in London and did few shows there but I had to leave early this morning to head to Berlin for a job

A day in the life

2010-09-16T17:57:00.001-04:00

On the night of September 10th the whole city came out and shopped for Fashions Night Out. I know there were a million stories of fun events around the city but for my story to be told I asked Gilbert Le and his film crew to come follow James and I for the entire day. You might recall that Gilbert's company, Americana Cinema, were the ones who created our wonderful wedding movie. The day was

I WANT MY MTV!

2010-09-12T00:19:00.001-04:00

I just left New York Fashion week in full swing to fly to LA for the gig I have out here tomorrow. MTV has asked me to come host their red carpet coverage of the Video Music Award's for MTV.com - As torn as I was to leave NYFW I just couldn't turn down the opportunity!! The MTV VMA Pre-Show I'm hosting airs live on the web tomorrow (Sunday the 12th) at 8/7c. Tune in to Style.MTV.com or MTV.com

FNO 2010

2010-09-09T21:50:00.001-04:00

Fashion Week SS-11 really crept up on me this year. People, IT ALREADY STARTED?! That having been said, the question everyone in fashion has been asking ad nauseum is "What are you doing for Fashions Night Out?". The problem is, there's so much going on! I guess that is a nice problem to have, I've managed to narrow down my list so I just wanted you to know three spots I'll definitely be at.

Let the madness begin...

2010-09-06T16:03:00.000-04:00

Here we are, Monday of THE busiest week in fashion. Tomorrow night is the first ever Fashions Night Out runway show put on by Vogue magazine. I'll be one of over 150 models walking in the largest fashion show New York city has ever seen. More than 1,500 ticket holding guests will be spectators in person with millions more watching the live stream on CBS.com - If that wasn't enough, you can watch

They Shoot Horses, Don't They?

2010-09-03T13:10:00.001-04:00

To celebrate 25 years of British ELLE, I was invited to join them in their biggest editorial ever. The inspiration for the shoot was a 1969 Jane Fonda movie called "They Shoot Horses, Don't they?". The premise of the film and of the shoot was a depression era dance competition in which couples literally danced until they dropped, sometimes for days on end with little to no sleep. The Elle team

Notre Mariage

2010-08-22T16:57:00.005-04:00

Within this blog you often see into my professional life but, once I saw these films I realized that though personal, they were too beautiful to keep to myself. The first film is just 3 minutes long and is perfect for those of you who may not have much time. The second film is an expanded 18 minute version and contains some lovely interviews. I'm happy to present to you two short films

RUNWAY RELIEF

2010-08-18T23:47:00.004-04:00

Well August is almost out the door and that means one thing - Fashion Week is nearly here!!! This season Modelinia has teamed up with Nine West on a very special project which I'm happy to be a part of. I'll be one of forty models doing what we models do best - WALK - but this time, for a cause. My girls and I will all be strapping on our specially made Nine West’s boot with built in pedometer's

The Artists Studio

2010-08-11T01:02:00.001-04:00

The location picked for Nordstrom's Fall 2010 collection shoot was the most amazing artists studio I'd ever seen, right in the middle of Manhattan. After the first day of shooting I went home and told James (also an artist) all about the studio, its magnificent views and its old world charm. The next day James came by and got to see for himself what an artists paradise it really was! This studio

Mystery Billboard Explained!

2010-08-07T19:44:00.002-04:00

Hello from gorgeous Costa Rica!!! If you're in north America and you watched TV on Wednesday night you might have figured out the mystery of my Times Square billboard - The billboard was actually part of last weeks Project Runway challenge which was won by Gretchen Jones. As part of her prize I was asked to model her navy jumpsuit to appear on the Marie Claire campaign. So the big secret is now

My Honeymoon In Corsica

2010-08-03T17:40:00.000-04:00

Written by Coco Rocha for Huffington Post This Spring my fiancé James and I decided to have a fairy tale wedding across the Atlantic in a castle in the Loire Valley of France. Since this was to be a destination wedding we soon decided we didn't want to back-track halfway around the world for our honeymoon. James suggested Corsica as a possibility. Neither of us had been there and, to be honest,

Oh So Behati

2010-07-19T13:55:00.001-04:00

A few months back my good friend Behati offered to take some pictures of James and I in our engagement bliss. Many of you will know Behati for her work in front of the camera as one of the worlds most beloved models, but unbeknown to many she has also been developing her skills behind the camera too! Here's a little conversation we had recently about her new found skills. And whatever you do,

QUAD-COCO IN TIMES SQUARE

2010-07-13T15:51:00.008-04:00

For this entire month you can find this billboard of me up in the bright lights of Times Square, New York. The reason why its up is, for now, a closely guarded secret... does any one have any guesses?? XOXO COCO Update: People have been posting photos of themselves in front of the billboard (Though one looks suspiciously photoshopped haha)!! If you put yours on my official facebook page I'll

Good news comes in three's

2010-07-05T13:44:00.003-04:00

Hey everyone, I'm currently writing this blog as I fly to Montreal. I've had a lovely two weeks in New York, settling back into "real life" with the hubby (yes, I really did just say that). We arranged all the furniture, a few times and worked out little things like who does the dishes (him) and who makes the bed (both of us, since its so massive). Anyway, I just wanted to write a little blog to

After the madness...

2010-06-27T09:29:00.002-04:00

I'm back! Did you miss me!? First things first: I just want to say, my wedding and the honeymoon were absolutely wonderful. This whole last month was a true fairytale come true for me and I promise that you're going to hear all about AND see the pictures very soon and in a very special way! For now though, for my first blog as Mrs. Coco Rocha Conran, I'm going to write about something very

ENGLAND

2010-05-18T20:08:00.009-04:00

Something you might not know about James and I is that we're both English citizens. My dad is English, born in Coventry, so I recieved citizenship through him. James on the other hand was actually born and raised in Yorkshire (Northern England) until he was 12 and most of his family still lives there. This past week, we've both been back in the old country. James is working on a house here in

Walking in the clouds

2010-05-09T16:38:00.003-04:00

One event I look forward to every year is the Costume Institute Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Absolutely everyone you can imagine is there, all dressed up like they're attending a high society event straight out of a Jane Austen novel. I suppose you could think of it as the one big New York event that kicks off the summer social calendar. This year Anna Wintour and Oprah Winfrey hosted

Erika and I are proud to announce this years (now annual) "Strut for a cure." event.Presented by the Coast-to-Coast Against Cancer Foundation on May 27th we are uniting fashionable Canadians to raise funds and awareness
