Agyness Deyn

Agyness Deyn is a model and actor who became a prominent figure in British fashion during the 2000s. Born Laura Hollins, she worked with Models 1 and appeared on the covers of Italian and British Vogue. Her closely cropped, bleached hair became a recognisable part of her public image.

Her fashion work included Burberry and Giorgio Armani, alongside collaborations with designer Henry Holland. She later moved into acting, playing Chris Guthrie in Terence Davies’s Sunset Song (2015), adapted from the novel by Lewis Grassic Gibbon.
