Models We Stand
“For too long, the modeling industry has been like the Wild West,” said Coco Rocha at last night’s launch party for the Model Alliance, a new nonprofit group organized by models, for models. Top models including Doutzen Kroes, Crystal Renn, Missy Rayder, and Ajak Deng stopped by the Standard Hotel to toast the cause. The [...]
The Virtual Vacation
As anyone who’s currently seated at a desk in the city knows, no one’s seated at a desk in the city. The entire world—well, the entire fashion world, at least—is on vacation this week, and judging by the updates from fashion’s favorite Twitterers, life’s a beach. Marc Jacobs made news when he was spotted on [...]
The Icon And Her Haute Couture
“I went to see the collection three nights ago and was literally slack-jawed the whole way through,” Coco Rocha told Style.com at Christie’s New York last night before bidding on Elizabeth Taylor’s couture collection kicked off. “I love the fact that pieces were not hand-picked by some stylist for her—this was her personal taste, her [...]
Off The Runway And Into The Orphanage
When Behati Prinsloo and Coco Rocha go traveling together, the same thing tends to happen: “We always goof around,” Prinsloo told Style.com last night at Milk Studios, “and there’s always some video that ends up on YouTube, and I’m like: ‘Nooooo!’”Today, true to form, Rocha posted a YouTube video of their latest trip—but this time, [...]
Dancing, Kissing, And Collaborating For The Cause
Normally, it’s the rest of Coco Rocha that’s the moneymaker, but last night the model relied on her feet. Rocha closed out the program at ArtWalk, the annual fundraiser for Coalition for the Homeless, and having promised to do some Irish dancing if bidders pledged an additional $35,000 to the cause, ended up removing her [...]
Fendi On Wheels
The 17th annual ArtWalk benefit hits New York tonight, with co-chairs Alec Baldwin, Carey Lowell, Richard Gere, and Coco Rocha hosting one of the social calendar’s most prominent benefit art auctions, with proceeds going to New York City’s Coalition for the Homeless. Shepard Fairey, Jenny Holzer, Ed Ruscha, and Richard Phillips are among the artists [...]
Coco For Cambodia
Coco Rocha essentially took this season off in terms of the runway, walking exclusively for Zac Posen in New York and Giorgio Armani in Milan. But Rocha was far from out of service during fashion month. She’s been hard at work putting the final touches on her forthcoming documentary Letters to Haiti (making its New [...]
Iman, Christy, And Other Top Models: Beautiful On The Inside, Too
Karlie Kloss, Jourdan Dunn, Hilary Rhoda, Coco Rocha, Ataui Deng—with all of these top catwalkers in the same room just hours before the shows at Lincoln Center begin, you wouldn’t be off the mark if you thought they were at a last-minute casting call or fitting. But these girls, along with supes Christy Turlington and [...]
Karl Lagerfeld Opens Up
More than anyone else in the fashion world, Karl Lagerfeld gives the impression that he’s propelled by a massive tailwind—nothing seems to irk him more than slowing down, revisiting, pulling into port. Even his words come out in rapid gusts. For his latest project, forward motion has brought him to Macy’s, of all places, and [...]
Welcome Back, Zac
After taking his show on the road to Paris the past two seasons, Zac Posen is bringing it all back home to New York. He’ll present his mainline collection at Lincoln Center on September 11, and last night, he cut the ribbon on his first-ever retail store, for the Z Spoke diffusion line, in the [...]
