What? Rocha Engaged!
Tags: Coco Rocha, rocha engaged, super model
There was a storm last week lambasting the fashion industry's use of super thin models. It was caused by the super model, Coco Rocha, who announced in her online forum to grab the greatest attention by announcing she's engaged.
"I'm so excited to tell you that I am engaged," 21-year-old Rocha said on her "Oh So Coco" site yesterday. "Mr Conran proposed to her last week and I most definitely accepted. He is so sweet, so cute. I don't think I've ever been happier than I am right now. I am glad that I can share the rest of my life with him."
Conran, who is actually an interior designer, often appear on Rocha's blog, which she uses to make announcements and share her frustration at the fashion industry. She even took part in the CFDA's forum, discussing the impact of tiny sample sizes on model's health - and is keen to make her voice heard on the subject.
"In the past, some models have discussed this issue, but the result was being accused since their careers were on the brink of extinction," Rocha said.
"This is a totally different story in my case. I actually firstly pointed out this this two years ago at the peak of what a model would consider the ideal career and indeed there was a reaction - those who were the worst offenders suddenly asked me to work for them! It was a public relations ploy and I wasn't prepared for that. So I refused and told them if they are willing to change, I will then work with them", she continued "But you know, they didn't change so I haven't worked for them."
