nymag.comAgyness Deyn Walked Alexander Wang’s Show Because He Killed a Giant Cockroach for Her
![]()
Backstage yesterday at the Alexander Wang show, Agyness Deyn prepared for her first turn down the runway for the spring 2011 season. "I wasn’t going to do the shows, but you know, Alex called, and I love him," Deyn told us. "He killed a cockroach in our house at Coachella, so she owes him," her friend and business partner Fiona Byrne interjected. "We were at Coachella, and we all had a house together," Deyn explained. "There were like seventeen of us," Byrne added. "And Alex came to our party — we had a pretty wild party — and we had this huge insect in this house, and he high-kicked and nearly put his foot through the wall and killed this thing, so I kind of owe him," Deyn said. Though actually, Byrne clarified, maybe he owes her: "He did us a favor by killing the cockroach, but then he left a massive footprint on the wall, which we had to pay for — thanks, Alex."
When she's not doing runway, Deyn filters pitches for her new online magazine Naag. "Most of our shoots are pitches made by freelance photographers and stylists, who just have ideas and want a place to put them," Byrne explained. "So really, most of the shoots that have been commissioned, out of all of them, so far we’ve only come up with maybe two ideas." So was this a call for the world to bug Deyn with submissions? "Bug away," Deyn answered. "Everyone e-mail me: [email protected]."
vogue.comSpotted: Agyness Deyn Wears the Perfect Pantsuit
![]()
In a season when pictures of seventies pantsuits—YSL and the "Charlie by Revlon" ads, circa 1972—are pinned to innumerable designers' boards, trust Agyness Deyn, New York resident/British Tomboy-in-Chief, to have already bagged herself a Parisian original.
Here she is on her way to report for work yesterday at Alexander Wang in an immaculately tailored three-piece Prince of Wales checked suit and a pair of black and silver Church's brogues. "It's a Pierre Cardin women's one from the seventies," she revealed. "I've got a contact at a vintage store on Avenue B. He always looks out for seventies pants and small boys' suits from the sixties and puts them aside for me." And what's the name of that store? "Oh," she said, knitting her brow in mock consternation. "D'you know, I can't remember now!"
You know how it is. A snappy dresser should always keep her vintage cards close to her vest.
