As Talent Management knows all too well, legendary fashion model Coco Rocha is not one for nudity, or even implied or partial nudity. So, when we saw the modest Canadian baring far more than we’re used to on this year’s May cover of Elle Brazil, we were a little surprised to see so much flesh, and it seems we weren’t the only ones.

Despite the model being shot in a nude coloured body suit under the blue and silver jewelled sheer dress, after some heavy-handed post-production in the Photoshopping department, the body suit was completely erased leaving a rather exposed Coco with an outfit that looks almost painted on.

As Coco instructed the magazine not to do this, she’s understandably annoyed, as any model would be. But, unlike many models who wouldn’t have the guts to say something for fear of losing future modelling work, for Coco, who’s an advisory board member to the Model Alliance, campaigning for model’s rights has become somewhat of a passion. Hence, we weren’t shocked to see her publicly vent her disappointment.

On her Tumblr blog, the model wrote: “As a high fashion model I have long had a policy of no nudity or partial nudity in my photo shoots. For my recent Elle Brazil cover shoot I wore a body suit under a sheer dress which I now find was photoshopped out to give the impression of me showing much more skin than I was, or am comfortable with. This was specifically against my expressed verbal and written direction to the entire team that they not do so. I’m extremely disappointed that my wishes and contract was ignored. I strongly believe every model has a right to set rules for how she is portrayed and for me these rules were clearly circumvented.”

Talent Management commends Coco for sticking up for hers and other models’ rights, and hope that editors take heed and are more respectful of models’ rights in the future.
