Ginger's back? 


To show off her range of gunmetal and Swarovski necklaces, bracelets, and earrings, Rocha enlisted pal Behati Prinsloo to model alongside her in a new cinemagraph campaign by Jamie Beck, debuting exclusively here on Style.com. (For her print campaign, she also brought her friends into the picture—Iman and Caroline Trentini both appear with her in the Nigel Barker-lensed photos.)

Coco Rocha Launches Jewelry Line for a Cause
Coco Rocha is getting in the jewelry and charity business. The model has launched Coco Rocha for Senhoa, a collection produced together with Senhoa, an organization helping Cambodian victims of human trafficking. After receiving a piece made by the women of Senhoa on her wedding day in June 2010, Rocha said she was inspired to get involved. “They asked if I wanted to partner up with them to do a jewelry line. I designed it and the girls make it and the proceeds go to the girls,” said Rocha.
The pieces are made by hand at Senhoa and beaded with clear, black and multicolored Swarovski Elements (“The girls are perfectionist beaders,” Rocha added.) and made in a distinct chain-link of silver and gunmetal. Comprised of seven styles — two pairs of earrings, two bracelets, one necklace and two body pieces — the collection ranges from $60 to $195, with the exception of one body piece that retails for $995.
The model even coined her own tag line: “Accessorize your conscience,” which she explained as spending a little bit more than you normally would on a piece “because you know you’re helping out and it was in the hands of a young girl who put a lot of time and effort into it.” Rocha added: “We’re naming the pieces after some of the girls in the camp — and some familiar Cambodian names.”
To help raise awareness for the cause, Rocha brought on some additional model power with the help of friends Iman, Caroline Trentini and Behati Prinsloo. In the first of two campaigns, Iman, Trentini and Rocha were photographed by Nigel Barker, and in the second Rocha and Prinsloo were shot by Jamie Beck in a series of animated images.
Model Coco Rocha's 4 Runway-Ready Looks
Lara Stone has that unmissable gap. Adriana Lima's got to-die-for dimples. Lindsey Wixson's lips won't quit. We're all for supermodels with signature features, and perhaps the most unmissable (and enviable) of all is Coco Rocha and her sharp-enough-to-cut-yourself cheekbones. And the Vogue cover girl's style is just as razor sharp. To get you in the mood to add some fierce (hey, she was just on ANTM!) to your holiday wardrobe, we hit up Coco to pose in four oh-so-runway outfits. She obliged happily in looks that have all the studs, chains, leather, and shearling booties you could possibly need. Inside her Gramercy Park apartment, the Canadian import—who effortlessly mixed H&M and rag & bone—sat down with us for a frank and funny chat that covered everything from budget buys and bold lips to her brand-new jewelry line (wait 'til you see that bracelet). "If you're the first one to call yourself a supermodel, you're not!," says Coco. And guess what? She wasn't.
How long do you spend on the internet? What are you favorite websites?
"With mobile Internet it's hard to say, but I'm definitely checking email, Twitter, the blog, etc, for a minute or two every other waking hour. I consider keeping up with my social media 'work' though, so when I'm just surfing for fun, I love going to Refinery29, Vogue.com, Style.com, Mashable.com, and I'll do some aimless Tumblr.com exploration, too."
What's been the best fan moment you've had?
"I think probably in England. James and I were at a random little Indian restaurant eating and this Brazilian girl comes over to us asking 'Are you Cucko Rocha and James Cooneran!?' We had a nice little chat at the time, and then later that evening I was on Youtube and found a video she had uploaded of herself, just sitting there crying at the Indian restaurant with James and I eating in the background. It was bizarre, but sweet."
Do you have any hidden talents?
"I don't know about it being hidden, but I pride myself on my lip-syncing skills. Give me any old show tune or Barbra Streisand song, and I'll lip sync the living daylights out of it!"
What do you love best about married life?
"I remember when we were dating, we would always try to out-do each other with these fantastically complicated dates. Now when we have some down time, we just sit home with take out and order a movie—we're completely happy with that. Married life is just so easy and comfortable."
You always have a banging bold lip look. What lipsticks do you use? Any tips on wearing a bold lip?
"You know what, I'm usually all about a light lip and I'll often use concealer on my lips, but James complains all the time that when he kisses me, he gets these chalky white lips, so now I'm starting to wear a bold color more just to please him! But, lately I've been loving oranges and bright reds."
What were the inspirations? Who do you think the consumer will be?
"I'm very picky about the jewelry I like to wear, so this collection definitely reflects my personal design aesthetic. We wanted to create a very fashion-forward collection, but still incorporate the wonderful beading work the Senhoa girls are known for. We tried to keep the price-points of our jewelry pieces within reach of the very fashion-savvy girls (and boys) who follow me. Some of the pieces are on the high-end, but I think when people learn about the wonderful cause these pieces support, they won't feel bad about spending that money. Our motto is 'accessorize your conscience,' and really, no one has a reason to feel guilty for treating themselves to one of these pieces!"
Would you ever do your own reality show?
"I've been approached a few times, and every time I've backed away from it. In general, reality television is anything but real and I wouldn't want to sensationalize my life. If the project was coming from the right angle, I would definitely consider it, but so far its all been 'America's Next Real Model of the Jersey Shore' pitches."
What do you eat in a typical day?
"For breakfast, I'll have a bowl of cereal followed by another bowl about an hour later. For lunch, I'll have a salad or sandwich and then a big dinner around 5 p.m. followed by a final bowl of cereal around 9 p.m.. Did I mention I love cereal?"
You experiment with your hair color...any model tress secrets??
"Find a good hairdresser, and don't try to do it yourself! With all the changes I've made to my hair color in the last three years, I'm lucky not to be bald right now."
