New Model Alert: Coco Mocha

Coco Rocha has one of those faces--an exquisite confluence of marble-sculpture-worthy planes and angles punctuated by a big, showstopping, exclamation point of a grin--that once you start looking at it, you can't stop. Little surprise, then, that ever since she sealed her runway-superstar status by doing an Irish jig down the Gaultier catwalk in 2007, the 21-year-old Canadian (with a fashion-perfect name, to boot) has become one of the most in-demand models of her generation. Rocha takes an engagingly playful approach to her job (and to life itself, as fans of her ultra-charming blog, Oh So Coco, can attest), uninhibitedly throwing wild, kinetic shapes for the camera. "It's fun!" she says, during a break from the ELLE shoot. "I've found that the more exaggerated or weird the pose, usually the better the picture."
