Coco reflects on her ever-changing looks and platinum hair, saying:

“I’ve done red, I’ve done black, I’ve gone long, I’ve been short. I play a lot of different characters, that’s the kind of model I am. If they’re looking for a David Bowie, I’m the girl... if they want someone who’s going to play an actress without speaking, that’s me. I’ve been blonde for six months now and it’s been fun but I know in a few weeks’ time I’ll be itching for a new look. My favourite look is always the new look.”

On the subject of her ownership and management stake in model agency Nomad Mgmt -- along with husband James Conran -- Coco praises the agency and its founders Damon Rutlandl and Roman Young who discovered her.

“We wanted to move away from big corporate agencies and the cattle call of girls all doing the same thing and instead provide a new way. It’s about doing our part to make sure we see more diverse models on the catwalk, different skin colours and body types. We are starting to see more Middle Eastern models, we have a Lebanese model on our books, Ahmad Chabayta, he’s also a professional soccer player. It’s about changing the conversation.”
