Attention aspiring models: Need-to-know industry facts through the eyes of supermodel Coco Rocha
Over the years TikTok has not only become a source of entertainment. It is now also a source of information, and as different types of people join the community, the diversity of content also widens. One of the most famous models who joined Tiktok is Canadian supermodel and author of Study of Pose: 1, 000 Poses, Coco Rocha. The model has shared a lot of her modeling work, from shooting covers of prestigious magazines, campaigns for couture designers, and the know-hows of modeling from back when she was just starting to her current career.
For aspiring models out there who are not yet following Rocha, we suggest you start now. One of the most relevant entries the supermodel uploaded debunked the myths in modeling. Rocha talked about how models “really” earn money, and you may be surprised how they can look expensive without a single penny in their pocket (at least for a model who is starting). Watch her debunk this model myth number one
