Agyness Deyn: I miss Coronation Street

ROSSENDALE supermodel Agyness Deyn has revealed she is hooked on acting as she adjusts to life in New York.

Speaking exclusively to the Lancashire Telegraph, Agyness, who has moved to the Big Apple in a bid to propel her career, said the thing she missed most about East Lancashire was watching Coronation Street with her mum.

Though Agyness is seen as a global cat walk icon, she is now looking to leave the world of modelling behind and break into films after landing her debut acting role earlier this year.

She said: “I love modelling but after dipping my toe into acting I'm hooked.

“Everything is different in New York: the weather, the food, the people. I feel more free living here.

“Growing up in Rossendale I always knew there was something bigger out there, a world of adventure and growth, but I do miss seeing my mum and watching Corrie with a cuppa.”

Agyness, formerly Laura Hollins, was discovered whilst working at Stubbins fish and chip shop by local fashion business owner Jan Shutt.

Since playing a lead part in the 12-minute film 'Mean To Me' with Law and Order's Linus Roache, Agyness has found an acting agent, launched the culture website www.naag.com and has tweaked her East Lancashire accent to fit in with the locals.

She said: “At first when I arrived people use to say 'do you speak English ? So I've adapted accordingly.

“I would encourage any budding models or actors back home to think positively and put things into action.

“However, when I worked at Stubbins chip shop my only thoughts where about how I'd get the greasy smell out of my hair and clothes!”

In 2007 the former All Saints' RC High School, Rawtenstall, pupi was voted Model of the Year at the British Fashion Awards after fronting campaigns for Armani, Burberry and Mulberry.

Agyness Deyn’s Buzzy Summer Cut

24b87m0.jpg


While the rest of us are spending millions on keratin treatments, turbo-powered flat irons, silicone drops, and all manner of defrizzing gel, model Agyness Deyn has craftily one-upped us all with the ultimate guaranteed-good-hair-day summer cut. She just shaved it all off.

The initial buzzing happened this past April, after a spell spent with a mussed, inky black Billie Joe Armstrong–ish crop that hung punkily in her eyes. “You can hide behind hair and I felt I’d had enough,” says Deyn. Of her new low-to-no-maintenance cut, she says, “It’s fun and easy, and I wanted something new.” Plus, she was headed to the Coachella music festival in the Southern Californian desert, where temperatures can soar into the triple digits. So she went to Freemans’ F.S.C. Barber — the old-school men’s barber/haberdasher stylishly tucked away in an alley on the Lower East Side—and pulled up a chair. “They were like, ‘Agyness, we only do guys’ cuts,’ ” she remembers. “I said, ‘That’s alright. I just want it all off.’ ” Since then, she’s dropped in to the men-centric salon Tommy Guns for a trim, too, and has taken a razor into her own hands, as well.

For many who follow fashion, it’s the first time we’ve seen Agyness’s true hair color—a warm, honey blonde—and her new cut, although androgynous in spirit, has a softening, surprisingly girly effect on her face, bringing all of the focus to her stormy blue eyes. She has been mistaken—from the back—for a boy, and admits to occasionally taking defensive measures, dressing lately in floral frocks, paying particular attention to manicures (though rest assured, she’s lost none of her It-Brit edge: The day she visits Vogue, her nails are painted chalky neon green). She knows what she’s doing. The very first time she shaved her head, “I was 15 or 16, and my best friend, Jessica, did it too. We ended up wearing red lipstick for the first few weeks. It’s weird,” she says, “I feel more feminine, having no hair.” Trust us—she has never looked prettier.
