Coco Rocha's 11-year-old daughter takes her clothes

Coco Rocha's daughter takes her clothes

Coco Rocha's 11-year-old daughter already steals her clothes.

The 37-year-old model feels "honoured" that Ioni is keen to raid her wardrobe for outfits to wear to school, even though they don't fit her properly because she is so much shorter than her mom.

Coco - who has Ioni, as well as Iver, eight, and Iley, five, with husband James Conran - told People magazine: “My oldest is already stealing things and taking [them] to school.

“I love it, but it's also hilarious because — as you can tell — I have long legs, she's not quite there yet, so she drags my pants into school.

"I love her confidence. I wish I had confidence like that at [her age]. I hope she never loses it. But yes, she's already pulling pieces, and I guess I should be so honoured.”

When it comes to her own sense of fashion, the Project Runway Canada host doesn't care about trends.

She said: “Whatever you want to wear, go wear it.

"We are not curing cancer, we're not changing the world, we're having fun. So enjoy wearing whatever you want to wear, if it's trending or not.

“The trend should be whatever you fabulously want."

Coco heaped praise on Leeland Mitchell, who won the most recent series of Project Runway Canada, and she's excited about getting to wear his creations.

Asked who she is currently tracking in the fashion world, she said: “Well, I am the host of Project Runway Canada. And so our last winner, Leeland [Mitchell], was outstanding.

“He was self-taught by his mom, who had a sewing shop in [a] Chinese mall.

“I am wearing one of his pieces very soon. And I'm just proud of him … And I love that … you didn't have to go to an upscale fashion school. You can, but you don't have to. You can do this."

Coco was approached to model when she was taking part in a dance competition in 2002 and she previously admitted that before then, she had very little knowledge about the industry.

Speaking to The Italian Reve, she said: "It’s funny because when I was younger, I never even paid attention to fashion, nor to my own style or point of view. I was a dancer, so my whole life was just dance.

"Probably because I didn’t grow up with social media, you would have to buy magazines and really be involved to care about this industry.

"I would not say that my love for fashion started early on, I didn’t have even a sense of who was who and which magazines were important."

And Coco initially went into modelling as a stepping stone, without viewing it as a long-term career.

She said: "Even during the first few years of my career I was taking it as an opportunity, I thought, 'Let’s try this thing out and see where it goes.'

"I was a very hard worker, I knew how to perform, but I didn’t dive in to inform myself of the industry until a few years in, when I thought that maybe that was really going to be my career; I thought, 'Maybe I do like it, maybe I love clothes, maybe I love make-up'.

"So, I can’t really recall a date, or time, or article I read, but it was overtime realizing that this is my new version of performing, and that it was the reason why I started to love fashion."
