The Special Model

I'm sure many of you have heard about how Coco Rocha's cover for Elle Brazil has been edited to show more of the Canadian model's skin and how she's furious because of it. After all, the girl's got principles. Anyway, here is the editorial for that magazine's May 2012 issue shot by Max Abadian. Aside from skin, the images also show Coco wearing fabulous fashion from labels such as Julien Macdonald, Gucci and Givenchy. With styling by fashion editor William Graper, Coco really is a special model.

Elle Brasil May 2012

Coco Rocha smoulders on the May 2012 issue of Elle Brazil in a Julien Macdonald creation. The Canadian model is styled by fashion editor William Graper and is photographed by Max Abadian. The cover may be stunning, but it also generated some controversy when Coco posted on her Tumblr account that the Brazilian publication altered the photo to make it appear that she's revealing more skin, Photoshopping the body suit she wore under the sheer dress out of the picture. 

Coco doesn't do nudity, even partial nudity. She doesn't even do cigarette shots. She's long have that policy and in fact it was stated on her contract with Elle Brazil when they booked her for the shoot. What do you think?

The issue hits newsstands April 26.
