It is one thing to be famous. And, another to be immortalized. Our fave ‘IT’ girl, Agyness Deyn has is being unveiled as Rootstein Mannequin’s latest model on May 20th. Rootstein Creative Director Kevin ArpinoI explains the choice, “Rootstein has had a long history of predicting the decades most influential visages and we felt that Agyness embodies the look of the first decade of this century. Her style and mannerisms both on and off the runway, as well as her fabulous physique, made her the perfect choice to be immortalized as a mannequin.”

Agyness Deyn is the face of this century. In her second solo cover of June 2008’s Vogue UK, Agyness looks uber-cute in a “teeny weeny white Burberry shorts with her peroxide crop artfully tousled (by Sam McKnight) – and summer is here at last”.

My favourite girl, Agyness Deyn is releasing her new collaborative single “Who” with New York band, The Five O’Clock Heroes. Agyness appeared and also sang in the video - it’s catchy, and it kinda reminds me of Milla Jovovich. According to NME, the single will be released on “June 23 on seven-inch vinyl and download formats”. Don’t miss out on this.

One day, I’ll be at Coachella rockin’ out *fingers crossed* It’s the ultimate music festival that boast the best artists line-up, biggest celebrity turn-ups and impeccable, crazy street style. Cherry Magazine has blogged about the street style by this year’s Coachella’s goers. Now, check out what the rich & famous are wearing on their rockin’ day out:

Agyness Deyn looks uber-cute and punky in the D-I-Y ribbon headband and pink Wayfarers. I also love the floral top. No doubt she’s deemed the new Kate Moss. You go girl!

I am sooo diggin’ Kelly Osbourne’s look with patent leather jacket and checkered dress! Red lips, yum. Aussie singer, Sia Furler wears a chic glittery dress with an adorable vest with belt. Nice.

Check out Sienna Miller in her jumpsuit with leather belt and Vivienne Westwood boots. Nicole Richie looks slouchy-cool in her comfortable dress. I like Kelly Osbourne casual-chic style and Kimberly Stewart’s gladiator sandals. Bring out the sunnies!

Nicole Richie is lookin’ super hot for a new mummy. This reminds me, I want flat ankle boots!

Hope Robertson said, “This dress design is an ode to summer – meant to look like the sky — and I’d say the blue and frothy print of this Zac Posen creation even resembles the sea.” It couldn’t be described better. I think the uneven bubble hem is ingenious. Net-A-Porter styled it with Jimmy Choo shoes, a Chloé bag and a Philippe Audibert bracelet.

Available at Net-A-Porter at £2,368, the editor quiped “this divine Zac Posen dress seizes upon the idea and transfers it to a modern evening silhouette with brilliant result”.

As seen on Agyness Deyn on the runway and the fabulous, Rachel Bilson, the dress is definitely captivating and eye-catching. I think Rachel Bilson looks absolutely sweet and gorgeous with dark tights and black heels. And, I love her new hair! This is my favourite look of the season. What’s yours?

i-D Magazine: The Agyness Deyn Issue

This is my most exciting ‘buy’ of the week. I popped by HMV at Heeren this afternoon to get my latest issue of i-D magazine for May 2008’s Agyness Deyn issue. For the first time in 28 years, the magazine dedicated an entire issue to a single individual. How awesome is that? There are six different covers but I only saw TWO covers at HMV - bummer. I’m quite sure the ‘nipple’ didn’t get MDA’s approval. Splashed across the page says “ICON” - how apt.

As the face of Britain, Agyness Deyn is the new “IT” girl, and fashion muse for Henry Holland of House of Holland, and defies all modeling myths - tomboy, short cropped hair, boyis figure, different and highly edgy. She’s prolly the first model that got everyone saying “Kate.. who?” She’s the coolest - I mean, she eats fish & chips and pizza! Thank gawd for high metabolism rate. Here’s a sneak peek which I absolutely love to the max. This is such a collector’s edition if you love all things Agyness:

She’s a man, he’s a woman. You decide.

OMG. She’s such a cutie. I’m havin’ a major major crush. “We are all Prostitutes” LOL.

You can see Agyness Deyn in her naked glory - I feel totally gay now.

On a random note, I had a ‘light bulb’ moment while having Vietnamese food at Va Va Voom Cafe. Then I shared the idea with a friend - you know what I dislike, someone butchering my idea and toss it back at my face. Sometimes I wish I kept my mouth shut.

Spotlight: Atalanta Weller

This is the girl who made a stiletto shoe from BMW car parts. Enough said.

Atalanta Weller simply redefined “innovation” in fashion, and reinvented shoes - entirely. This newcomer, and little-known name popped up in this year’s London Fashion Week as one of the collaborators for ‘House of Holland‘. In an interview with UK’s Telegraph, Weller said “It’s a proper collaboration. [Henry Holland]‘ll tell me roughly what he wants, I’ll go back to him with sketches”. Her infamous “wicked glossy spike-winged wedges” spotted on Agyness Deyn (see above), has caught the attention of shoe enthusiasts and fashionistas. She said in an interview with i-D magazine that her shoe design influence originates from “a ’50s Cadillac meets Las Vegas neon aesthetic” - wow, I don’t even know I can digest that.

I find Atalanta’s work very inspiring. I mean, car parts?! Absolutely crazy but cutting edge. The above stiletto shoe was created from “reconfigured BMW parts while design collective TO22 sliced through the 1-series at an angle, creating a shimmering silver laser-cut hanging, backlit by red film lights, that worked well in the cavernous concrete space of the London location”. The metal spike heel and tyre-rubber sole combo is an instant killer formula. You know what my boy said, “It’s the only way you get boys to look at your shoes”.

HAH, well said. I’m going to chop up someone’s BMW tonight.
