Nowadays models have been relegated to be nothing more than a pretty face. New York City-native, Coco Young, is bucking that much-exhausted trend and showing people what they want: personality. The 20-year-old has that inexplicable je ne sais quoi quality that first caught the eye of photographer Ryan McGinley. Upon meeting Young in 2008, McGinley requested her for his yearly cross-country road trip, then later for the Wrangler campaign and a spread in Tar magazine. With her name on the tip of every cool, downtowner’s tongue the Maupassant-fan just took her first stab at acting, starring in KT Auleta’s short film Runaround. But when she’s not mugging it up for cameras, Young stays busy by modeling for painter John Currin. Now, who was it that said models are nothing more than a pretty face?
