Agyness Deyn : InStyle.com What's Right Now

New Need-to-Know Web Site: Naag.com!

Nov 3, 2010 @ 2:26 pm

If you enjoy things like good food, music and fashion, check out Naag.com. Started by model Agyness Deyn (left) and journalist Fiona Byrne (right), the ultra cool site had its official New York launch party this week sponsored by AllSaints. We caught up with Byrne, the Editor-in-Chief, to find out more: “[Agyness] and I had a lot of friends in common. I’d heard her name for ages. Then we met one night and bonded over things we missed from our part of the world: tea, chocolate and Coronation Street (a British soap opera).” The idea for the site occurred to them in the summer 2009 and work began this spring. Next week, they’ll launch in London. After that? “We think Tokyo. I think it would be so cool to see the site in Japanese. Plus they love Aggy in Japan so it would be awesome to have a presence there and get to go do karaoke there a few times a year under the ruse of ‘business trip.‘” As for the site’s name, it’s just the last two letters of Fiona and the first two of Aggy. Nagging mystery solved!

Agyness Deyn’s Fashionable Film Debut

Feb 23, 2010 @ 3:00 pm

Quentin DiDonna

In her first short film, Mean to Me, British supermodel Agyness Deyn plays a 1930s courtesan faced with tough decisions in Manhattan. Her Zac Posen gowns, Mikimoto pearls and Guerlain makeup, however, are anything but hard knock. “I’m deeply inspired by 1930s cinema, and I wanted to create a story in which the female protagonist is a beautiful, glamorous woman with an intense, multi-faceted personality,” said director Peter McGough. Deyn used his guidance to inspire her performance in the 13-minute film: “Seeing [Peter's] passion for the 1930s was like jumping into a time machine. He provided huge insight into the time,” said the model. Mean to Me screens at NYC’s Cheim & Reid gallery on March 4 before making the rounds at international film festivals.

Agyness Deyn’s Supermodel Save

Feb 13, 2010 @ 11:00 am

Two runway spills in towering Burberry heels didn’t stop Agyness Deyn from strutting her stuff at last night’s Fashion for Relief Haiti show! After the first stumble, the supermodel smiled and laughed as the sold-out crowd cheered her quick recovery. When she slipped again, Deyn took the pair off and happily walked the rest of the runway barefoot. She later tweeted, “1st show of fashion week! Took a tumble! Got up! Fell again. Should have stayed down the 1st time. Twice! WTF! Ouch my knees!”
