Women's Empowerment

Jun 1, 2020
Fashion Is “Women Empowerment & Entrepreneurship”| Coco Rocha and Alex Dickerson
Description

Alex Dickerson interviewed Coco Rocha for a discussion about Women Empowerment & Entrepreneurship. Coco “walked the runway for major designers and shot covers, editorials and campaigns for the world’s most influential magazines, brands and photographers.” and, on this panel, she talked about her journey and why she created her model camp. “[the model camp] is everything that I wish someone had taught me when I first started to model. And there was no such thing when I started […]. You didn’t really have a big sister relationship with anyone, because let’s be honest you are going to be replaced as the big sister, so why would you help out a younger generation if you will be replaced? Which is a sad thing to think, but now I realize I will be replaced, it’s gonna happen, and I have been replaced on shoots and jobs, so why not be the big sister and the mentor to this new generation so that they can have an awesome time, and a great experience and become great business women? Because in the end they will shape what modeling is in the future, and I always want people to look at models as smart and educated business women.”

Coco Rocha
Supermodel & Founder, Coco Rocha Model Camp

Over the last 19 years, Coco Rocha has had a dream career in fashion. Named model of the year by both Elle Magazine and Marie Claire, she was honored as one of the top 30 models of the decade by French Vogue. Despite her many accolades, Coco has always lived by the truth that success does not need to come at the cost of sacrificing core values or individuality. Considered the first high fashion model to harness the power of social media and the world’s first digital supermodel, Coco’s presence on social media has gained her over 17 million followers. Using her platform, Coco has claimed her voice as a force for good and was instrumental in the passage of new laws protecting underage models in New York. Fashion industry contemporaries have nicknamed Coco the “Queen Of Pose” as she is known to be one of the most technically proficient and versatile models of all time. In 2014 she wrote the book on posing when she published a 2000 page encyclopedia named “Study Of Pose”. With a passion for educating, Coco famously mentored models in the television series “The Face” alongside Naomi Campbell and in 2016 made her years of experience available to a new generation via Nomad MGMT, an agency she founded in Miami, LA and Vietnam. In 2018 she opened ‘Coco Rocha Model Camp’ in New York State, offering international models a unique and hands-on education. In 2019 she was invited to teach her program at Harvard University. To date over 3500 models have gone through the program and been mentored by her, including boldface names like Kendall Jenner, Tabria Majors, Larsen Thompson, Bambi Northwood Blyth as well as actresses like Camille Razat and Bryce Dallas Howard. Coco is also an investor and advisor to Bumo, FLYP and p00ls, startups in technology and media. She lives in New York with her husband and long time collaborator, James Conran, and their three young children Ioni, Iver & Iley
