Models turned Business Moguls

Models these days are so much more than just a pretty face strutting down the cat walk.

Many models like Heidi Klum and Tyra Banks have made their mark in the business of fashion and modeling. We already know what these hot mama’s are made of, but what about the younger generation of models? Who is embarking on their business ventures?

A few names come to mind!

Coco Rocha, not only started the whole Model blog phenomenon, making her personal life public. This took off by storm, people are so intrigued by the life of models and want to see into their lives. Coco really uses this to her advantage, posting videos, and info on events she is involved in. Coco is also starting up her own clothing line “Rococo”, which is pretty bold, and totally reasonable! Models, are working around some of the most beautiful couture fashions in the world. Giving Coco the knowledge she would need to design her own clothes. Anticipation for the unveiling of her full line is too much! Let’s see what this fierce Canadian model can do! Below, see Coco’s first dress from her line, which she revealed at the Grammy’s in February 2010. Enjoy!




Another Model, who is making a name for herself in the Swimwear community, is Hawaiian beauty Tori Praver. Praver was in Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue for 3 consecutive years and had her swimsuits featured in the magazine in the 2009 issue. Tori launched her line Tori Praver Swimwear in 2009, and had her first presentation at Miami Swim Week 2010, and another one this summer for her 2011 collection. Her two lines have been widely successful, and in high demand. Considering that Tori grew up in beautiful Maui, she knows swimwear, and it shows. Her lines are sophisticated, surf tested and have the signature ruching. Check out her collections at www.toripraverswimwear.com . See below for a few of her pieces from her 2011 collection.

Met Gala 2010




Here are some of the many models who attended the 2010 Met Gala. I love Coco's Zac Posen vintage gown, and i read on her blog that they managed to turn the train of the dress into a cape, which is so 1920's. LOVE! Caroline Trentini's vintage dress is so elegant, she looked amazing! What do you think?
