Coco Rocha lauds designers following rules on young models

Coco Rocha is praising designers for following laws that protect models younger than 18.

“People are listening,” she told us at the Noon by Noor show Monday. “I was actually shocked . . . because I was expecting someone here or there to forget about the laws or just not pay attention . . . We are Day 4 or 5 [into Fashion Week] and we’re still doing good. Congratulations to all of the designers.”

Rocha, active in the Model Alliance, which helped push the law, says they will focus next on model health care.
