Agyness Deyn - backlashen
Nu kommer det. Agyness-backlashen. Glöm inte vem som ifragasatt henne fran början...
"Someone somewhere along the line decided that we need a new culture-by-way-of-fashion icon as a sort of generational figurehead. That Moss chick, well, she's just been around a bit long now, hasn't she? And Lily Cole, well, rather unjustly, she somehow became the visual symbol for any discussion about anorexia, so citing her as an icon of fabulous fashionability became a little bit tricky. And then, with the kind of timing that would have Dorothy Parker gasp with envy, up pops Agyness, with her misspelt fake name (Laura Hollins, since you asked), her northern accent (so that what is often referred to as "the London style press" - aka, those big magazines that have a commendable appreciation for the utterly meaningless and will include at least one black and white photo of a model standing by a dirty canal and wearing ugly shoes and a headdress from last year's Notting Hill Carnival - can patronisingly refer to her as "real"), her frankly weird taste in clothes and her fondness for hanging out with people who live in east London.
To be honest, there are times when I doubt if she's an actual human being but rather a CGI construct from the office of Dazed & Confused.
Ha!

Don't get me wrong, I'm sure she's a lovely girl and, yes, a very pretty one. But with that peroxide crop and her love of DM boots and strange stretchy miniskirts, surely I'm not the only one baffled by all the adulation of this so-called "style maverick" when Roxette carved this niche with rather more aplomb almost 20 years ago? Crikey, the magazine iD has dedicated its entire May issue to the woman. A little bit of overkill, yuhthink?"
Ha!
