Agyness Sets Sights on Hollywood Thanks to Tootsie

Not content with conquering the worlds of modelling and music, it seems Agyness Deyn has her heart set on a career in Hollywood. The Mancunian model, who is currently dating Albert Hammond Jr. of The Strokes, has appeared in a movie made by her Five O’Clock Heroes band-mate Alanna Masterson. The short film, called The Right Side Of My Exultant Brain, also stars Dustin Hoffman’s son Jake and apparently Aggy’s struck up a friendship with Hoffman Senior, who wants to help her make it in the movies.

Hair update: Perhaps annoyed by all the wannabes copying her famous blonde quiff, Agyness Deyn has had her hair shaped into a stark bowl cut with a super-short fringe.

Fashion Supermodel Spectacular: Agyness Deyn

FashionWATCH currently has a feature running on the always changing and fabulously stunning Agyness Deyn. As she is one of my faves, I couldn't help but share some pieces with you. There are so many unknowns about her, yet she sometimes reads like an open book. Let's explore a bit:

Is Agyness her real name?
Well, not really. She was born Laura Hollins in Littleborough, England and changed her name to Agyness Deyn when she started modeling. FashionWATCH reports the name is a derivative of her mother's maiden name.

Where was she discovered?
She was working at a local fish and chips shop when she met designer Henry Holland of the House of Holland. The two became friends and it was Holland who encouraged her to model.

When did she get her "big break"?
In 2006 she appeared on the cover of the Vogue Paris beauty supplement soaking wet. Within a year she was featured in campaigns for Burberry, Cacharel, Giorgio Armani, Boss, John Galliano, Gianfranco Ferrè and Vivienne Westwood.
