    I think she'd beautiful, being honest.
    Her styles pretty fabulous, too. Wish I could get away with what she wears down here!

    Saw a photo of her today at an i-D party held in her honour I belive over the last few days, she wore a dress which I have to say I liked..Id never wear it but she looked lovely in it..her hair was quiffed up, it's probably the best outfit Ive seen her in..

    by the way, the New Look line of clothes that she models is hideous..was in there yesterday and some it it has already being hoisted to the sale rack..a bit like the Giles Gold collection..buhbye..

    Where's "down here"? Surely they won't stone you to death for wearing it. They'll probably just snigger and point at you. Pretty much the same as she gets in London I suppose. Nobody dresses like that there either you know.

    Ah, Camden. The smell of disgarded fastfood, urine and vomit. You get a concentration of wannabes and "cool" people who follow every trend going, but that's just because evryone of that persuasion congregate there. Soon as they walk into a bank in Chalk Farm, they stick out like a sore thumb.
    Anyway, Camden market is full of tatty crap other people threw out. It's only saving grace is the pubs and atmoshere.

    I think its refreshing to see some unconventional beauty in the media.

    She hasnt got classic model looks imo, but she's different. If her rise to the top ushers in a new era of individuality well then thats a good thing.

    Apparently, it's because of the high percentage of gay men designers. They want their models to look as close to men as possible, ie. very thin with no curves, and they design their clothes for that type of woman.

    great book called 'fashion babylon' explains this. Designers design on 2D paper. trouble is you put a woman into it and the bopdy shape can ruin a design in that it does not look tha same as it did when they drew it. so the thinner the woman the more the dress looks like what they designed.

    I have no problem with thin women but I thin agyness is an awful looking girl I cant understand the hype at all. to say shes the new kate moss is blasphemy!the hair is the worst she looks like the 80s threw up on her and has zero natural style its quite depressing

    They're just people's attempt to create a Notting Hill that they can afford to live in and has less black people. Souless places with expensive coffee and like un "upmarket" Camden for late thirties bankers who like to think they're a:Hip, b:bohemian, or c:both.

    Why would you assume I haven't been there? Because I don't agree with you on liking them? I've actually spent some time around the east end and Hackney and, in particular, Shoreditch, researching some family members who emigrated to there in the late 19th century.
    I'm not overly bothered that you like the place. I'm not sure why you care what I think:confused:. No point getting all wound up about it. And by the way "I hate this kind of crap" when people make assumptions and snide remarks for no reason whatsoever.

    She isn't, she's employed by designers, top designers, the kind that ultimately influence the entire fashion industry. If she was as bad as alot of these posters make out do you think they would be employing here.

    I don't want to descend to sheer bitchiness but yes I was shocked when she won Model of the Year, I think Aggy is further proof (not that we needed any) that the fashion industry are a bunch of fascists who can convince the willing masses of anything.

    Maybe its cos I grew up on the original uniqueness of Kate Moss (the waif years) but this model is nothing special & won't last more than a few seasons.

    Zoolander anyone? ;)

    Shouldn't a female model actually look like a woman? All I can see is a 13 yr old boy. And what's with the bleached hair and black eyebrows? That's kinda 1980s.

    A style icon and role-model of 2008? *snigger*
