Shot these pics in the pre-corona time period. Remember that? You know, the olden days when studios we’re open, and teams of people worked together without fear, and you could walk outside and get a coffee on your way home and then invite a friend over. Ah, to be back in the glory days of February, 2020. . .

I’m so happy to announce I’m finally launching CRMC ONLINE! As you might know, over the last 2 years I’ve taught 600 models at my @cocorochamodelcamp facilities in New York. We sadly had to postpone our March, April and May camps due to COVID-19 but we have 14 more physical camps planned for New York, Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary and Montreal from June to October of this year and we are filling those camps fast! CRMC ONLINE has been something I’ve wanted to do for a long time but it was these 2 weeks of quarantine that really forced my husband and I to focus on it. Over the last 10 days we got the studio and the technology together, we tested it out and we are now ready to launch a fully interactive education over the internet. CRMC Online *does not* replace the real world experience of my 3 day model camps, but it certainly offers an appetizer to that. Every week I’ll be hosting 6 hour online classes, in those classes I’ll be teaching models all over the world everything from pose, to photo movement, to emoting - the education is fully interactive so I can see you and you can me.  I’ll also be hosting open discussions where we discuss vital industry topics like agencies, contracts, branding, social media along with other major issues facing the industry. We will give models the tools they need to really thrive once work picks back up. For my 600+ CRMC Camp Alumni, I have a special program just for you as a  full refresher course! ;) For nearly all models worldwide, work is basically grounded right now. Talking with industry leaders,  the consensus is that’s the way things are going, we are looking at quite a while before things return to normal in fashion or life in general.  So what do we do during this time? Do we just Netflix and chill? Do we veg out? Well, everyone deserves to have a moment of downtime but other than that we prepare, we train, and we get stronger. If you’re interested in this training, or know someone that is, email my team at cocorochamodelcamp@gmail.com with the subject line “CRMC ONLINE” and we will get you scheduled for a day in the next week or so. This camp is open to all models 15 and older, male or female!

As we New Yorkers self quarantine to help slow the spread of COVID-19 in America I’m thinking of my Italian brothers and sisters who have been hit incredibly hard in the last 3 weeks and lost far too many loved ones already. Let’s all be smart, be careful and make choices that keep ourselves, our families and our neighbors safe. 💔 Regram @vanityfairitalia @matthewtylerpriestley

Behind the scenes with @yemchuk at the amazing #EeroSaarinen designed TWA flight center, originally opened in 1962. It was left abandoned for a few years but was restored and reopened last year as a hotel.

I’ve wanted to work with @yemchuk for a long time, so when @lexpress_dix gave me freedom to choose who I’d like for this project (models rarely get to pick their photographers) I knew exactly who to ask for. Shot at the old TWA terminal at JFK airport last month.

From the time I was @ioniconran’s age onward, @riverdance was a big part of my life. After seeing the show as a little girl I trained in Irish dance for 10 years before modeling. So happy to share #Riverdance25 with my baby girl tonight at @radiocitymusichall! #riverdance

At 14 years old I was in New York, brand new to the fashion industry and desperately trying to pull together any skills I could that would make me seem like a legitimate model. @RomanYoung, my agent at the time, wisely sent me to a runway coach named #MacFolkes to help improve my walk. When I discovered Mac was a 6ft tall man, strong broad shoulders like a football player and a slightly graying beard, I was more than a little surprised. Then I saw him walk, and it was more graceful and poised than anything I’d ever seen. Mac sadly passed away just a few days ago but I know so many models like myself owe a large measure of their success and their confidence to his training. “Imagine that there’s a string above your head pulling you up high” he would say as we stood on the tar covered rooftop of his Times Square apartment. The sun was beating down and the tar was getting sticky, but he taught me to glide over it, shoulders back, hips forward like i was skating on ice. To this day my runway walk is heavily influenced by all the advice he gave me over 16 years ago. And when I teach runway at @cocorochamodelcamp, I always see his handsome face saying “Shoulders back, head still, give me face! Now feel the beat, breath in and go!“. My love and condolences to his close friends and family. Mac will be forever missed but never forgotten!
