Agyness Dean

don't find her particularly attractive at all, too boyish looking


You think? Georgeous IMO :cool:

 
Blimey. That's the best photo I've seen of her, she looks great with a tan, eh? Not that she doesn't normally, mind.

*Pops down the chipshop on the off chance...
 
......... and has nothing which marks her out as astonishing...

I think that might have something to do with her sucess. She's got a very conventionally pretty symmetrical face which lends itself to lots of different 'looks'.

I would think that makes her very marketable as a model.
 
You're thinking of Jeny Howarth - the eighties revival is not just clothes you know, it's models.

When I was 15 we all wanted to be Jeny Howarth...

Yes, that is who she reminds me of too - very strongly. Her look is definitely not new!

It's a good look IMHO - a nice antidote to the Barbie doll look.
 
it's not that she's not good looking it's more she looks like a million and one other girls and has nothing which marks her out as astonishing...

looks like your standard city bank worker from anywhere...

well, that's the entire point of models isn't it? they must simply have a perfect facial structure but a rather blandly 'attractive' but perfectly symmetrical face; a perfect 'blank canvas' as it's known in the business.

I can't think of one current 'supermodel' who would turn many heads walking down a high street in Zagreb, but that's not what they're after. You don't want a model's face to overshadow what they're wearing, you want the clothes to be endowed with the 'qualities' the particular model is perceived to posess.
 
Yeah, I thought Zagreb was a bit of a shithole after touring round the south and Split. I think you need to explore more of eastern europe, mate. Latvia in particular. Were Agyness Dean to walk down the streets of Riga, there'd be pandemonium, people running all over the place screaming and crying until finally someone shot a tranquiliser dart into her neck because she'd been mistaken for an escaped zoo animal.

letitia casta tyra banks would be two which break that myth wide open...
 
It'll be Agnes. All modelling agencies get models to adopt a 'unique' spelling of their name where they can.

that's why lots of models have such butt-stupid names. :)

Yup, agencies are twats like that. An ex of mine called Anna was renamed by Select as 'Edie' without any consultation with her!

have exorcised self-censorship and deleted what i was going to post. must desist as such talk could get one banned. :rolleyes::(:mad:
 
then i suspect her agency chose 'Agnes' for her as is it simultaneously French and a name you could expect an old woman who works in a post office on the Isle of Skye to have - thus 'down to earth' and egalitarian sounding.
Apparently it was her mum that suggested the name and the spelling, as she thought it would get her recognised better. I only know this because I read it in an Independent interview/article about her recently - and I only botherd to read it because she brushed past us in Manhattan a couple of weeks before that. My mrs pointed her out to me saying 'that was Agynes Deyn' to which I replied 'who the fuck is she?' I really only saw her from behind but she looked cool in a long tartan jacket, tight jeans and pointy shoes and her legs are about 6 feet long and skinny as hell, so she looked the part.
