Is Agyness Deyn unfashionable in NY?

Is Agyness Deyn unfashionable in NY? One of the hottest models of 2008 and a trend setter of note has stepped out of favor with the press and fans alike. In fact the DailyMail has dubbed her ‘Cruella De Vil’ and describe the 25 year old model as “Taking a leaf out of Cruella De Vil’s fashion book, Agyness opted for a white fur coat - reminiscent of the 101 Dalmatians.” Ouch, not a good comparison for anyone really, the vogue cover girl, recently moved home with her boyfriend Albert Hammons, 28 (Strokes) and seems to have settled into her new place as she walked her pet chihuahua and Dachshund.The couple are rumoured to be engaged after she was photographed wearing a ring on her wedding finger earlier this year.Agyness recently came under fire for posing in a fur coat when leaving a Christmas bash at the Royal Academy of Arts in London. Which is rather ironic as she was later pictured wearing an anti-fur sticker on her top. Agyness’s story is a real rags to riches tale as the once former fish and chip employee is now described as the ‘ultimate incarnation of the it-girl’ which has lead to her meteoric rise to fame. What are your thoughts? Do you think her to be  androgynous but sexy and versatility, or just plain tom boyish?

    i think agnyness was such an exciting face and personality at the height of her popularity. But at age 25 people are already referring to her in the past tense (which is never good). I think her bizarre style of dressing has always been a hit or miss situation, which has been part of the reason she was intriguing. She has never been afraid to wear anything, but that’s also part of the problem….she will wear ANYTHING, even if it means she is a walking contradiction (i.e.-wearing fur while wearing an anti-fur button)
    People always want to see the “wild child” grow up and to see her style evolve and become refined with age. I think seeing these repeatedly sloppy outfits is wearing on the public’s eye. She walks precariously on the line between quirky and eccentric…guess we’ll see in ‘09 where she falls?

    eeeeemmmm

    i really want to dislike her . . out of envy and that she is the queen of ‘cool kids’, but i cannot help but love her. she’s nice, she’s an absolute beaut and yeh, she may copy some styles from her more obscure and ‘underground’ friends. . . but she always looks really good

    even in that pic there, i like the fur with the track suit bottoms

    I love Agyness; she’s beautiful, and original. Who cares if she’s dressed a little daudy in ONE picture? For God’s sake, she’s walking her dogs! One cannot be fabulous at all times.
