i-D May 2008 : Agyness Deyn

[bluejeans]

whenever i doubt agyness' modeling ability my mind is drawn to her burberry adds, i defy you to look at one of the group adds and not have your eye instantly drawn to her.

^ Also try anything from US Vogue, Armani, Pop or Italian Vogue

i agree about armani. mert and marcus did a great job. other than that i can't remember anything. i don't like her in the burberry ads, in the latest ones for example i can only see lily donaldson... anyway... i think this is a bit OT?...

I'm in love with her Burberry perfume ad.Her posing and expression are perfect
(I think I'm being very OT though )

Thankfully this will be the last season we will have to see Agyness for Burberry

Model of the moment,
face of Britain.
Into the i-D office stomps model Agyness Deyn, dressed in leather baker boy cap, oversized men’s suit jacket, bondage trousers and sparkling white DM’s, her silver pistol pendant proudly on display. “HIYAAAA,” she shouts from reception before striding over and giving a hug and a kiss like the kind you receive from your bezzy mates. She sits on my desk and we take a look through the last few pictures shot for this special, one-off Agyness Deyn issue of i-D. Of course the first ones we open are the Nick Knight nudes. “AGHHHH” she screams, as we take in the full frontals, “Actually…” she pauses… “They are dead good, aren’t they?” Of course. Dedicating the past year to working on this issue, Agyness has been an inspiration from day one, bringing forth ideas, popping by for meetings, writing music reviews and generally being rather fabulous, fun and a pleasure to be around. Since inception to realisation, her stature and cultural significance has grown outside of the confines of the catwalk. She is the model of the moment, has bagged the London Fashion week cover of Grazia, appeared in the papers more often than a popstar, presented at top award shows, appeared on prime time UK chat show Friday Night with Jonathan Ross and scooped the cover of Time, whilst the brilliant website Perez Hilton describes her as “ferocious, diva, fierce” and “YUM!” All for a 25-year-old former chip shop worker from Rawtenstall in Manchester. For this issue Agyness had to endure shooting outside in the snow wearing just her knickers, driving a tank with full-on conjunctivitis, and throwing shapes atop a ladder in Westwood ball gown during the London hurricane. Chatting to my Mum back home in Wales the other day, she summed up Agyness’ appeal in an instant. “I saw her on the cover of Hello and thought ‘Ooh, I love the short style of her hair!’ She looks so different in the magazines, because of the way she dresses and she has such a pretty face. She’s got a lovely face… she stands out because she looks lovely!”

anyway the magazine is viewable on iD' website with a little video...
i spotted two good editorials i think....

and could we please move on about agyness.... i know this is a Special Agyness issue.... but we're not on her thread....

Omg I know, it was just Agyness, Agyness, Agyness, Agyness boyfriend, Agyness, Agyness, naked Agyness, Agyness, Agyness, Henry Holland and finally Agyness's mum.

What the hell.

but was it any good?

^the magazine is viewable on iD myspace and iD website, you can have an idea by looking at it....
I think there's one or two good editorials (making abstraction of Agyness)...

 

[j'adorekapusta]

i quite love Aggy. She's very transformable and, whether you want it or not, she does score the result, being always at the top, always working hard, striking a pose as merely noone else can.
maybe she's not the most beautiful girl but who on earth should care that? she's trully individual (leave apart all this 'personality' stuff), she does stand out and she really knows her job. what more can we ask for?
even though i'm kind of pessimistic about this iconic fever. icons seem to be sooo over. which is not the worst thing ever. lol

 

[PeacenPout]

I saw it on stands at university today! I sooo wanted it and im gonna get it im just not sure which cover lol

 

[ApertureRomance]

Yeah the editorials were quite good ..but I expected more from the Vivienne Westwood content and I'm really confused about the sparkler cover because to me it looks like it is her not just a model who does. I won't get it , it's not an issue I'd pick up and read again I think.

This is the most over the top issue of I-D that l've ever seen, every page? No seriously every page has her on it, Agyness overload they spoilt some of the good edits by adding her on every other page, l for one will not be buying this issue, l dont think much of her as a model, let alone an ICON, its an insult to reall ICONS!

 

[aristobrat]

I'm waiting for this issue to come out because as much as I dislike the girl (mostly because everyone else hates her, I must admit), I'm really intrigued by the idea of this issue.

 

[iggy190cm]

Darling can I point out to you there have in fact been issues dedicated to models who are much more buttafaced thatn Aggyness. Why isn't anyone complaining about them

 

[AMACINOM]

I all the covers in WHSmith today. I was so tempted to get it, all the covers look so great in print (printed into glossy card). They looked fantastic, and were very eye-catching.
