Born orginally as Laura Hollins, in Manchester, Agyness Deyn (now 28) won Britain's Next Top Model and is now one of the biggest european models covering Vogue twice and Harpers Bazaar. I love her unique look which, to me is quite special as she seems quite innocent and (this maybe because of the platinum hair) quite pure and fresh. You could almost imagine her being the perfect model for a Locoste campaign simply because she matches the fresh, clean polo, golf fashion Lacoste brings.
I loved the photographs in black and white of her, they really bring out her natural bone structure and angular face. Making her face seem somehow softer, however the clarity of the pictures makes her seem this kind of unnatural beauty without make-up.
I was so happy when I saw Agyness was walking for Chanel because the natural feminity that Chanel brings really contrasts beautifully with her tomboyish style. Many articles in Vogue and Bazaar and fashion icons have always said that fashion changes but style is eternal and I really think with the introduction of Cary Mulligan and Emma Watson's newly cropped pixy cuts are really showing off this tomboyish style which is ageless from the 1960's for young to older women.
