I asked around, and yes they are a test. None of her editorial work has come out yet.
Though I'm curious as to how those images from the Supreme website since they're not in her book online. Fer19dog can you please provide a correct source, since those clearly did not come from her online book.

They're from an editorial I think. They're too good to be testsMaybe VP or VI?
Yeah I was thinking "Those have to be editorial shots!"

OMG cute
Her real name is Rosa Perez. There's a feature on her on TheImagist.com, an interview with Paul Rowland. It's...peculiar, to say the least. He refers to her as a "dominican mami" with an "african father and a spanish mother". Hard to find some actual African-born people in Santo Domingo. And "Spanish"? Really? but OK. God knows what he means, probably that she's half Black and half not Black, who knows, it needs to be translated from stereotype-talk into English.

Rose Cordero bolts out the gate in the FW 09 sweepstakes: Polaroid by Paul Rowland
The month before shows is the most fun for me when editing at MDC. Why? Because I love watching the drama build around the incoming new faces. The flurry of emails flickering back and forth through the industry over Supreme's Rose Cordero right this minute is pretty damn dramatic and deservedly so. Here's an excerpt of the dialogue between Paul at Supreme and myself yesterday afternoon.
Me: She gives me fragile elegance and she gives me boy! The market needs her...a fab black girl who is totally old school YSL chiiiiiiiiiic
Paul: You hit the nail on the head.... She is dominican mami. The father is african and the mother Spanish....All i know is she's major!!!
I've had many a conversation with Paul about the issue of black models and Mr Rowland has always been forthright in his position. For seasons upon seasons he told me he was waiting for that powerful girl that fell into the Supreme belief system... which is basically super-sleek girls with an edge... cut with a dose of androgyny .
Searing eyes fixed on a fabulous future : Left Frame :Rose Right Frame: Iman
When Rose's polas hit the in box, the first thing I assumed was that she was Somalian or Ethiopian. Though she looked nothing liked Iman this image sparked a memory in the dusty archives of my mind of a shot I had seen of the the young Iman. It is the rise of the hair overwhelming that fragile face, the long neck and then those painfully soulful eyes that match these two women for me.
I think that part of that mythology forged at Yves Saint Laurent by astounding models like Katoucha has been missing from the fashion archives in years. Rose to my eye is a brilliant opportunity to refresh that imagery.. that feeling that is parisienne couture ...that is extreme elegance... that is the girl gliding past you like a hallucination of beauty . More than that... more than Rose Cordero's couture lines... what really excites me about her is how electric her presence feels. There is that sweet Caribbean smile one minute and then when it is time for the picture, Rose just goes into place that is so serene and poetic you know she was born to model.
This young girl has been given a big break to a dream world and I'm feeling that flicker that when Rose Cordero is glossed and glistening under those inevitable runway and studio lights, she is going to devour that moment for all it is worth. I can't wait to see this exquisite face highlighted with world-class make-up gliding on those directional runways. On her Facebook page Rose dubs herself La Rosa de Negra (The Black Rose). Sit back and watch this rose bloom into something incredible.
