Coco Rocha

Tuesday the 5th of October

Right behind me is a newer model, a beautiful doll faced girl named Barbara Palvin. She’s almost crying with excitement before we go out and I’m reminded of how excited I was before my first Chanel show. Barbara says she’s a little nervous she won’t remember where to walk, I tell her to follow me and she’ll be fine… i think?

Isn't she cute?

Lol. Great stories!

A message from her Tumblr

As I write this blog I’m somewhere over the Atlantic, half way between England and America. I took this little 36 hour excursion to attend the ELLE Style Awards in London last night and I’m so very glad I did, I had an amazing time.

Before I explain why, I should just preface this with a little story: With the constant influx of new girls into the modeling world and the fickle nature of fashion in general, we models are always worrying about our “position” within the industry. Are we losing favor? Is our demand dropping? There’s no place this is more apparent than on a certain website which shall be left unnamed - on this site they apparently use some formula to rate models careers. I’m not sure how they come to their decisions but a lot of people, fans and professionals alike, will follow their ratings as if it were the Dow Jones Industrial or NASDAQ! Needless to say, I was aware of my “ranking” over the years but then, in the middle of 2010 I dropped from their top 10 and completely off their top 50 list.

Whats that saying? “You can’t win them all”? - Well, at least I can win a few of them

I am very happy to tell you that I’m coming home with a beautiful award for “ELLE’s Model Of The Year 2011”!! This will go up on my mantel, right next to the “Marie Claire Model Of The Year” award I received a few months ago in Paris. How insane is that?! Its astounding to me that two of the worlds biggest magazines have consider me for this title. Who knows, maybe the unnamed website will recalculate my ranking now - Although I secretly hope not, apparently the lower my ranking with them, the more awards I get, hehe.

All jokes aside, I guess the lesson in all of this is not to put too much weight into other peoples opinions. Yes, according to two magazines I was “Model Of The Year” but not everyone feels that way, and neither is that opinion any more valid than the opinion of the website who decided that I don’t rank amongst the top 50 working models.

To be honest, I’m thankful for both the praise and the criticism I receive. Both only make me want to work harder. Speaking of which, its time for this model to get back to work! New York fashion week is almost over
