Model Coco Rocha – Then & Now

We’ve had lots of requests to feature high-fashion model Coco Rocha – the reason? The Canadian beauty apparently lost a visible amount of weight in the past years.

Back in 2008, when Coco was allegedly 108 pounds at 5’10″ / 50 kg at 178 cm, she received criticism for looking ‘too curvy’ for the runway and advices such as “You need to lose more weight. The look this year is anorexic. We don’t want you to be anorexic. We just want you to look like you are.” To these harsh remarks, she replied:

“Last season I took diuretic pills. Once I took so many on an empty stomach that I was doubled over for hours. That’s the last time I ever did something so terrible to my body. No one wants to be caught with that photo ‘Model Eats Cake’” — and to make their fit models, and therefore their sample sizes, bigger — models are humiliated when zippers won’t zip up at castings.

In 2010, she said:

“You know what, I’ve stopped caring. If I want a hamburger, I’m going to have one. No 21-year-old should be worrying about whether she fits a sample size.”
