Coco Rocha

Having worked with many of the world's top modeling agencies for the last decade, I've seen what works and doesn't work in managing a model's career. ”

At the beginning of my career, I was nervous to talk. I was just a very young girl. You don't want to upset anyone or frustrate anyone - you just want to work. ”

I won't work with Terry Richardson again. ”

I think balancing work and family takes constant adjustment. Its not something you can say you've accomplished and move on. ”

Don't have just anyone run your social media. I think it's insane when brands or celebrities relegate their social media to an intern or someone who does not know them well. ”

Previously, someone would interview me, and if they liked me, it'd be a great story. If they hated me, it'd be a horrible story. I had no way to say anything. Social media changed things for people who didn't have a voice. ”

Personally, even though I have a great PR team, no one except my husband and I touch any of my 10 social media accounts. It's a lot of work, but I know that my brand, my image, and my voice are authentic to me. ”

If you are a new, upcoming designer, you've got to think of new, cool ways to make the industry look at you. Don't just get stuck in a rut, show your clothes, and be like, 'You should like this.' ”

A little personal trick: apply brown eyeliner throughout the day and then just add a little black over the top for a night look. ”

I think it's important to wear clothing that means something to you, and so I always try to make sure I'm wearing at least one item that has a personal meaning to me. ”
