I'm sure she's a brilliant model and all that and I've nothing against her personally but I just don't get where all the acolades come from.

she's not originalshe's a total 8o's re-hash and I don't think she's stylish either I just don't get all the hysteria TBH.

I've not seen her in any particularly high profile campaigns either, can someone tell me what's all the fuss about???

i've seen trannies with much nicer faces.

No. She dresses like a particularly badly co-ordinated tramp and I see prettier girls every day of the week. But then, I don't 'get' a lot of the people that the fashion industry / media wet themselves over.

She's always pulling a gormless face with mouth half open.

And her style is old hat and over worked.

Great, I'm not the only one! I have a pathological hatred for the woman. Actually that's not true, I don't hate her I just for some reason get really irritated when I see her in magaizines (on every other page!). I hate the way we are told she IS COOL AND TRENDY and so therefore we should all follow her style when actually she looks like she gets dressed in the dark in a fancy dress box. She gets away with it because she is "kooky". Facially and physically she looks like a million other girls but just because she wears a pork pie hat, tartan doc martins, striped leggings and a daft smile, London fashionistas have decided she's cool and therefore beautiful.

I'd rather be inspired by Kate Moss thanks very much.

I don't get her either - glad I'm not alone

wheresthehamster · 13/08/2008 20:39

Never heard of her. I thought the thread was going to be slagging off a cockney trying to say Angus Deayton

I get her more than I get that other great style icon Chloe Sevigny, who looks to me like a horse with bad dress sense.

CouldYouWouldYouWithaGoat - brilliant! I always snort at that line. 'I could not, would not with a goat!'

TheSmallClanger · 13/08/2008 21:35

Compared to Kate Moss, I quite like her.
She is getting very overplayed, though, and I've never seen her in any major campaigns, either.

joliejolie · 13/08/2008 21:39

I think she is adorable! I saw her interviewed and she seems really natural and not up her own ar*e like certain other models.

Not sure about her dress sense, though I love her union jack Chanel bag!
