Coco Rocha: The Bouncy Teen Canadian Supermodel

Aside from her rising career in the fashion world, the 19-year old Canadian teen supermodel Coco Rocha is also known for her signature bouncy, confident gait.


Coco Rocha was scouted at 14 during a Highland dancing event in Vancouver. Guess who singled her out for a modeling career? The controversial but undeniably one of the most successful and beautiful supermodels to date – Naomi Campbell!

Naomi Campbell told the young Coco Rocha "I like your walk." It was the beginning of a phenomenal modeling career for the raven-tressed beauty of angular features and pale complexion.

Nearly six-foot, Coco Rocha's bouncy, confident gait becomes her signature as a model just as Gisele Bündchen is known for her hair or Kate Moss for her personal style.

As a sensational teen model, Coco Rocha has already landed the covers of Italian Vogue and American Vogue, which has named her as one of the Top 10 Models of 2007. She has also been featured in countless editorial spreads and runway shows, including Highland dancing in full regalia for Jean-Paul Gaultier.

Being featured in Gaultier has greatly helped her career. As for her dancing, the young model confesses, "I hear comments like, 'Oh, it's a dancer. Oh, it's Coco!' It's good to be able to show I'm not just a model who knows how to walk in heels."

Today, the teen supermodel already owns a Manhattan pied-à-terre, and a luxurious Blackberry cellphone which only a few girls her age can afford.

Coco Rocha has been in recent fashion weeks in London and New York, but as she visits her nativeland for the L'Oréal Fashion Week, the bouncy teen Canadian supermodel just wants to keep things light:

"It's important. Its nice to come home and - I don't want to say 'be a celebrity' - but be able to say Canadian girls make it out there."
