IS SHE EVER NOT MODELING?

Agyness Deyn seemed ecstatic as she leaped into the sunshine at BBC Radio 2 in London today, wearing funky 80s style black ripped jeans, with a bright yellow t-shirt and black converse sneakers.

So, what’s got the British beauty so happy? Perhaps it’s all the high profile gigs she’s been reeling in. Agness has just been signed up as the face of Jean Paul Gaultier’s fragrance Ma Dame, the designer’s first in 15 years.

The fashion “it” girl was hand-picked for the campaign after Gaultier saw her opening his retrospective 30th anniversary show in 2006.

He says: “She was ballerina and biker, so feminine and masculine. It was a mix of my sensibility, and I knew she was completely the one to represent it. It’s my type of woman - at the same time fragile and strong, like a tomboy that is a little androgynous in attitude so, you know, she can cut her hair if she wants.”

    She is so average looking. Beauty is indeed in the eyes of the beholder. Too punkish for my taste.

    i find her look so dated. i hear her being an ‘it’ girl but i actually don’t see her much in magazines. probably looking in wrong ones.

    I think she’s got a unique look, but it’s a look that everyone is going to be over by next season, in my opinion. I don’t think she is a patch on a lot of the other models out there, certainly not what I would call a beauty.

    anyone who thinks she’s ugly, remember… kate moss was an “ugly” one, too.

    yep, i remember kate moss being considered ‘ugly’ and also too short… but i’ve always found her beautiful and her look very versatile.
    but this girl, all i think of is 80s new wave/punk.

    I think she’s great. Love her attitude and the vibe she sends out. And her look is unique enough that she can become many different characters - punker, 60s mod, or elegant sophisticate. If she really wants it, she could be around for a long time.
