Dress by Number: Brit Model Agyness Deyn

She was named "Model of the Year" in 2007 by the British Fashion Awards and tapped as one of the world's next supermodels by Vogue on the cover of their May 2007 issue. British model Agyness Deyn, whose real name is Laura Hollins, has taken the fashion world by storm with her platinum blond pixie haircut, lanky boyish figure and rock-chick aesthetic. Her style has a decidedly London vibe which I love to admire - from a distance, though, as I don't think I could pull off most of her looks. Seeing her face in Burberry ads has given the company a fresh new edge and made me look at the sometimes stodgy label in a whole new way. While I don't see her as the next Kate Moss, though many have made the comparison, I do think she's gorgeous, she's different, she takes chances and heck, the girl owes her parents for some great genes.

Are you smitten by Aggy? Do you love her look?

That outfit is not flattering on her.

Although I hate her hair, she really is stylish.

first of all she needs to get a bra.. second.. didnt the whole heroin chic thing die in the 90s? it shouldn't be coming back

I'm so glad you posted this! I saw this photo and was totally coveting how great she looks here. I disagree with the other commenters, she looks so chic and effortless. I love, love, love it.

chic and effortless? come on.
first of all, she looks like a 5 year old (and probably weighs less). what she looks like on the runway is another story. in real life, the top is too flimsy, too low cut, the shorts not appropriate for city wear, the shoes, don't even want to comment how a grown up woman would even want to wear kids' sneakers. at a resort, she could get away with it. in london, a major fashion capital, no way. why not show people who are covered up (hello, skin cancer!) and who eat?

hahahah! coveting her look?! What style is this exactly? Concentration camp meets prepubescent emo boy? Nothing about this look is flattering at all! The clothes don't fit her body, and they look foolish together! I agree that the heroin chic look has left and should stay gone.

I am SO GLAD to hear from some other people who aren't worshipping at the Altar of Agyness. I simply do not understand what people see in her. All I see is a woman who is perpetuating the myth that anorexic = beautiful.

Just. Don't. Get. It.

i LOVE aggy! adorable hair, pretty face, tons of effortless attitude. then again, i've always loved the London punk/rock vibe.

Agyness has a gorgeous face, and that's the only good thing I can really say about her. lol.

She looks like a dude going through puberty!!!!!!!!! and I'd rather die than go out in public wearing anything like that. Just because of this I'm going to stop reading the budget babe, she's so jaded like everyone else.

seriously? did I misread that? By those standards who's left to read?

#10.1 Peaches on 2008-07-29 23:57 (Reply)

wow you people are ruthless.

#11 ML (Homepage) on 2008-07-29 22:27 (Reply)

The good things about this photos is her face still look pretty even she wear like people on the street. Her dressing does not look like the world's next supermodel.

i'm glad i'm not the only one who misses the point of why this woman (?) is idolized. let's get a grip regarding 'role models.'

kate moss? anorexic druggie, friends with naomi campbell, lives with heroin addict.

sarah jessica parker? got her big role playing an immature 30-something who sleeps with guys on the 1st date.

paris hilton? in rehab since 14. did her own porn video. seems to be 'growing up' a little (at 27!) but still dumb and shallow.

madonna? had 7 abortions, 2 kids with 2 different guys, not married to either one at the time she had the kids, subscribing to some esoteric cult and calling herself esther (i call her self-absorbed and loony).

saying that, i loved the blog about comparing michelle obama and cindy mccain, 2 women who have actually ACCOMPLISHED something in their lives and dress well too.
let's combine brains and beauty more often.

and enough photos of skinny children. this ain't a 'send money to starving babies' site.

Well spoken!!!!! I totally agree with everything you said, and couldn't have said it any better myself! I'm also completely tired of the media always pushing those that are better examples of how to make yourself less human instead of those women that could teach a thing or two about how to excel and grow into our full potential!

Everyone just focuses on the "glamour" and never looks at what that kind of lifestyle or belief system does to a person in real life behind the cameras. I personally would rather look like hell and be happy, then be the biggest most beautiful star with a rotting soul...

speaking of which, did you all see the photo of madonna with her daughter where she looks positively anorexic (sans makeup)? not good. this was in yesterday's news.
