Coco Rocha To Participate in CFDA-Hosted Health Discussion June 3, 2008 12:23 pm >> In February 2007, Natalia Vodianova participated in a CFDA panel discussion on the issue of dangerously thin models, where she ended up admitting that her modeling career had induced weight loss to the point of hair loss. Last month, Ali Michael spoke out about her modeling-induced issues with food, and how they caused her to lose her period.
Now, Coco Rocha is becoming the latest model to address industry health concerns. Along with Diane von Furstenberg and Michael Kors, she is part of a panel discussion hosted by the CFDA on June 10, dubbed "The Beauty of Health: How the Fashion Industry Can Make a Difference." I wonder what revelations, if any, will come out of that .
