Yes, I know it's bitchy, and that high fashion isn't about conventional beauty but does anyone else think Agyness Deyn is a bit of a dog?

Personally I don't think that catwalk models make any clothes look good, they all look the same body wise and it's very unrealistic as very few people look like that.

expatinscotland · 23/10/2008 11:25

Erin probably doesn't like how she's asked to pose in those M&S adverts .

Probably not entirely her choice but I'll bet it's quite a lucrative contract!

She was on the F word and seemed really down-to-Earth.

Gordon Ramsay's only 1 in. taller than she is!

She's also started other business ventures now she's in her 30s, such as her own modelling agency.

Agyness photographs beautifully - that's part of why she's so successful. The angles of her body and face really show off clothes and makeup well.

She's striking and unforgettable, a great combination for longevity in the industry she's chosen.

Good for her!

'Personally I don't think that catwalk models make any clothes look good, they all look the same body wise and it's very unrealistic as very few people look like that.'

Personally I'd rather see the clothes on a catwalk model than someone as dumpy as I am.

They really wouldn't look good then.

My daughter has a body type like that and it's very likely she always will, giving her dad's side of the family.

And I will think she's just as beautiful as someone who is as voluptous and curvy as I am.

skyatnight · 23/10/2008 11:29

She is not pretty, or ugly. Quite plain, androgenous, not curvy. Her face is very undistinguished to my mind. I read that she used to work in a chip shop and I wouldn't be surprised to see someone like her behind the counter (bit miaow on my part, I know). I really don't like the hair. But for her to be so popular and to receive so much work, she must be a good model, which is about the way clothes look on her, the way she moves, the shapes she is able to make with her body, being versatile.

kerryk · 23/10/2008 11:29

is erin o connor only in her 30's

i thought she was about 50 and they had her moddeling m&s to promote there older range.

expatinscotland · 23/10/2008 11:31

Yep, she's 32 (Erin).

I'd model older range clothes for M&S, too, if they paid me what they pay Erin .

NorbertDentressangle · 23/10/2008 11:31

I just "don't get" Lily Cole

She looks quite alien to me -no amount of make-up can disguise the odd-ness.

Not your standard aesthetic features at all.

DaphneMoon · 23/10/2008 11:32

LOL Kerryk

I think Twiggy looks better and she is about 50 isn't she?

kerryk · 23/10/2008 11:33

bloody hell she is younger than my dh.

i am shocked at that, not in a bitchy way. i just really thought she was so much older.

DaphneMoon · 23/10/2008 11:33

I think Lily Cole looks quite pretty although the make up on that pic looks blardy awful. I have to admit I see prettier girls walking down the high street though.

NorbertDentressangle · 23/10/2008 11:33

Sorry meant to add that I think Agyness does have something. Very striking in a positive way.

expatinscotland · 23/10/2008 11:35

Yeah, you see prettier girls in the street. But they may not look as good in a photo or video, may not have the look that people remember AND most of all, the height or build to do the job.

Alexa Chung was a model and she doesn't have 'conventional' looks, either.

But again, she has an unforgettable face.

Uma Thurman, again, not conventionally pretty, but she was once a successful model - she's 5ft., 11in. as well.

NorbertDentressangle · 23/10/2008 11:39

To illustrate my point about Lily Cole looking quite alien like:

Lily Cole

an alien

skyatnight · 23/10/2008 12:04

You see, I would say that Lily Cole does look a bit like an alien which is what makes her interesting and unusual. The contrast between the strong and the delicate. She looks like a doll or a cat. But she is also pale and interesting and delicate and feminine, with curves in her face, her forehead, her cheeks, her eyebrows.

Agyness Deyn's features are blunt and dull and unrefined. And why the pseudonym and the made-up spelling? Perverse and purely about publicity, which has worked.

Lizzylou · 23/10/2008 12:06

I do see your point, Norbert, but I think that Lily is very striking.
I'd much rather see unusual, striking looking models than all these orange fake tanned/bleached blonde/fake boobs Wag looking women.

tonightsthenight · 23/10/2008 12:22

Oh I had to use the phrase Butt Ugly to get people to click in order to tell me off

She's not ugly, just beyond plain.

expatinscotland · 23/10/2008 12:24

i don't think she's either ugly or plain.

she's striking and unusual and with her height that's stunning.

OrmIrian · 23/10/2008 12:33

She's beautiful IMO.

Daisy15 · 30/11/2008 10:41

My room is full of posters of the models you've all discussed. Majority of them consist of Lily Cole who has such a beautiful face. Models are very much structured on how they don't conform to our idea of beauty, i.e tall and skinny. As for those talking about Erin O'Connor, i'd like to add if it wasn't for her nose she would never be famous. And why the hell should she hide it? I'd rather someone with the guts to say 'hey, this is who i am, don't like it? i don't care'. Compared to some tarty blonde who's had a nose job 6000 times, personally i'd prefer it if she embraced the nose that once looked like a chewed up version of the eiffel tower. What concerns me the most is as far as i am aware you are all adults who have nothing better to do then criticise famous models, do you not have any faults in your own lives? It's very sad the way you haven't got anything better to do.

BibiThree · 30/11/2008 10:43

Not at all
She's not a striking beauty on first look, but she photographs so well and isn't completely perfect looking. I for one would love to look like her.

I'd happily look "butt ugly" if it meant i photographed like her

Spidermama · 30/11/2008 10:45

I don't 'get' Agyness Deyn either. Good luck to her though.

TeenyTinyTorya · 30/11/2008 11:00

I think Agyness Deyn and Lily Cole are both beautiful. I much prefer unusual beauty to all this fake-tanned/fake-boobed/fake-haired "beauty" that is promoted by glamour models and red carpet events.

FairLadyRantALot · 30/11/2008 11:14

She reminds me a bit like "Nena" you know....

butt ugly is quite harsh though....

schneebly · 30/11/2008 11:19

If Agyness Deyn is butt ugly then I wish I was too!
