Coco Rocha

Clothes: Sonia Rykiel, Chanel, and Christian Dior styled by Jean Paul Gaultier

I’m drawn to this editorial because of the eccentric garments and equally mad poses. The clothes have such a personality of their own that the model could be lost in them, but here Coco Rocha pushes through the eccentricity by using poses that are equally as strong the garments. It’s worth noting that Rocha was a dancer when she was scouted so she has the potential to use poses and movements that would be too difficult for other models.
This is probably a little more extreme that anything we will be using, but I think its important to push the poses, and the body language and then pull it back rather than not committing and ending up with a weak pose.
