"My list [of what I won’t do] compared with any other model’s is insane," Coco Rocha says of her contract, which includes no nudity, no government or religious artifacts, and no working with other models who are posing in a way that doesn't jive with Rocha's values.The next time you've got a congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses ringing your doorbell, you may want to answer*: supermodel Coco Rocha could be among them.
Rocha, who was raised in the faith by her mother and officially baptized in 2009, still regularly goes door-to-door with her congregation despite her fame, telling DuJour her faith is "everything."
As one might imagine, though, being a Jehovah's Witness in the fashion industry--as a model, no less--isn't exactly the easiest thing. "My list [of what I won’t do] compared with any other model’s is insane," she says of her contract, which includes no nudity, no government or religious artifacts, and no working with other models who are posing in a way that doesn't jive with Rocha's values. Which explains why she was so outraged when Elle Brazil airbrushed out the bodysuit she'd worn under her dress when she appeared on the mag's April 2012 cover.
