This talent has set Coco far apart from other models in the field, resulting in her often being called "The Queen of Pose," a mettle no other model has come close to challenging in her eleven-year career. Coco is a model designers, stylists, photographers, and designers all love to work with because she not only makes their jobs easier, but enhances their work through her creativity, versatility, and editorial instinct. These qualities, along with her unique looks, intelligence, candor, sense of humor, and charity, have not only contributed to her professional success but resulted in a dedicated fan base. It''s no surprise that girls who want to be models look to Coco as a mentor and role model--pun intended. Sebring and Rocha worked together utilizing his experimental "Rig" for a few years before deciding to attempt the Study of Pose. The Rig was described by Jeffrey Podolsky for T Magazine (May 21, 2013) when he wrote about Sebring''s show, "Revolution, a three-year effort on display for three days at the 69th Regiment Armory: [The Rig] is a 10.5-by-15-foot igloo-like silver contraption (or ''geodome'') designed to capture the form and movement of the subject standing inside from every imaginable angle.... The device contains 100 synchronized cameras that shoot in predetermined sequences, allowing Sebring to capture form and movement from numerous perspectives simultaneously -for example, his muse, Coco Rocha, spinning and dancing (as seen in Discovery"). He can then present the results in numerous forms, including film, photographs, and sculpture."

The photographs are all black and white, and each feature Rocha-cast in direct lighting and dressed in a plain white leotard-in 1,000 different poses, including bending, jumping, sitting, standing, and everything in between. The result is a gorgeous, in-depth exploration of the movement and flexibility of the human body. The hardcover edition, at 2,032 pages and 2.5 inches thick, is packaged in a beautiful black clothlike case with two black satin bookmarks, and a full-color bellyband with French folds. With a foreword by design Jean-Paul Gaultier, an introduction by Sebring, and a preface by Rocha, the book features a unique pose on every two-page spread accompanied by its place in the series. While Sebring and Rocha''s work produced 1,000 unique poses for the hardcover, each pose was captured from 100 angles. The result was 100,000 unique images that make up the entirety of the study of pose project, which enable us to deliver an E-book that is even greater in scope and depth. It will be designed by Sebring himself. Never has there been an undertaking of this magnitude in the study of the human form and its versatility. Unique in its subject matter and structure, this book is sure to become an essential reference for Coco''s fans, models and aspiring models, and for artists, photographers, and followers of art and fashion alike.
