Full Agyness Deyn Biography
Agyness Deyn (born Laura Hollins on 16 February 1983) is an English model. She is currently starring in the Burberry campaign and the Giorgio Armani campaign.
Agyness Deyn is from Littleborough in Lancashire. She is the second of three children. Her mother Lorraine is a nurse. Deyn's working life started serving cod, chips and mushy peas part-time at 14, which she did for two years in Stubbins. She left home for London, worked in a burger joint during the day and a bar at night but she admits: “I tried to make cocktails but it didn’t quite work.” After a few months, and aged 18, she was spotted by a photographer and snapped up by Models 1 model agency.
One of her customers in the chip shop was Henry Holland, designer and creator of the House of Holland rhyming slogan T-shirts. Now she is the face of the company. Deyn has appeared on Vogue Italia, twice - the November 2006 issue and the September 2007 issue. Both covers were photographed by fashion photographer Steven Meisel.
In the May 2007 issue of American Vogue, she was featured on the cover with fellow models Doutzen Kroes, Caroline Trentini, Raquel Zimmermann, Sasha Pivovarova, Jessica Stam, Coco Rocha, Hilary Rhoda, Chanel Iman, and Lily Donaldson as the new crop of supermodels.Agyness Deyn, February 2008
She was on the cover of June 2007 issue of UK Vogue. Deyn was also on the cover of the Observer Woman supplement in September 2007.
Deyn has appeared in advertisments for Blugirl by Blumarine, Burberry, Cacharel, John Galliano, Gianfranco Ferrè, Giorgio Armani, Mulberry, Paul Smith, and Vivienne Westwood.
Despite in interviews claiming to be 21 years of age, her listing on the Companies House website, under the name Laura Hollins, shows her birthdate as February 16, 1983, not as February 16, 1986, as she, her associates and internet databases claim. Throughout 2007, Deyn's mother, Lorraine, has been questioned in various publications and tabloids about her daughter's age, but in response has said that she has been advised not to comment on the issue.
