Agyness Deyn

What I find compelling about Agyness Deyn is the deliberate reinvention. She was one of the defining models of the 2000s, the kind of face that came to stand in for a whole era of fashion, and she could easily have coasted on that. Instead she walked away from modelling and rebuilt herself as an actor and designer. That takes a certain stubbornness I respect. Born Laura Hollins in Littleborough, she traded a recognizable brand for the uncertainty of starting over, and to me that says more about her than any runway ever could. I'm curious to see where the second act leads.

Agyness Deyn (; born Laura Michelle Hollins, 16 February 1983) is an English model and actress. She is best known for her successful modelling career in the 2000s, and has been called one of the decade's top models. Since her retirement from modelling in the 2010s, she has pursued acting and design, among other ventures.
