Coco Rocha: People think Im old

8th September 2010

(Cover) - EN Fashion - Coco Rocha says shes considered old in the fashion industry.

The fresh-faced Canadian model began her career at the age of 16 and has had a hugely successful career, gracing the covers of magazines such as Vogue and Harpers Bazaar.

Coco will turn 22 this Friday, and says that despite still feeling very young she is already thought of as a mature model by her colleagues because the fashion industry is swarmed with teenage girls.

"Still a baby, but I'm old in this industry now, she told USA Today.

The supermodel also spoke about how lonely she gets when shes modelling, and revealed she often invites her family to catwalk shows so they can wait for her backstage.

"I hate going to shows alone. I get crazy alone," she added.

Coco is particularly close to her mother Juanita Rocha, who regularly accompanies her on jobs, as does her husband James Conran who she married in June. (C) Cover Media
