FLARE Fetes Coco Rocha at WMCFW

Canadian supermodel Coco Rocha was the guest of honour last night at the Next Issue x FLARE event to celebrate her new book, Study of Pose, and guest editorship of FLARE’s November issue. Guests sipped champagne and (unsuccessfully) tried to resist the all-chocolate buffet as Rocha’s 1,000 poses flickered by on the backdrop. After a quick Q&A with editor-in-chief Cameron Williamson, the mother-to-be mingled with the crowd and took part in pose-offs with her admirers in front of the FLARE photo wall. After flipping through the impressive collection, I’m sure I’m not the only one who spent a little mirror time trying to perfect pose 178, 335, 879...  —Alicia Cox Thomson
