Canadian model Coco Rocha lands the November cover story of Flare Magazine. The dark-haired beauty looks as glamorous as ever in the photo shoot where she poses up a storm at a hotel. For her interview, she opened up about her refusal to pose nude for shoots, saying, “Models, unlike celebrities, are expected to be blank canvases with little to no opinion on how the artists and designers adorn them. I remember at 15 being told point-blank by an agent that in order to ’make it’ as a model I’d have to shoot nude, even though it was against my principles.”

Coco continues, “That never sat well with me. Why should I have to give up rights over my own body just to ‘make it’? That’s when I decided to put certain clauses into my contract. Perhaps I heard ‘no’ more often because of it, but there are always clients who are willing to work with a confident woman who knows who she is. I like to think that my career is proof that you can stay true to yourself and make it in this industry.”
