Agyness Deyn is the "new Kate Moss"

That is, according to Observer Woman magazine. It's a big call but the British newspaper supplement believes that the model whom they call Aggy from Manchester is the one that could very well fill Kate Moss' shoes. "Dirty rock beau? Check - she goes out with Josh Hubbard of the Paddingtons. Effortlessly stylish? Check. Signature look? Check - she brought back the peroxide crop. Looks like we've found her then," says the article. And they're not the only ones. American Vogue recently put Deyn on their top ten models cover not to mention her debut cover shoots for both Vogue Italia and British Vogue.

Perhaps being best mates with Henry Holland (they both grew up in the same area) and Giles Deacon also helps? Holland's iconic slogan t-shirts have put his label House of Holland, firmly on the fashion map. "When we were about 14 she was a bit of a scally, but she always got loads of attention. Never the get-your-tits-out kind though," says Holland of Deyn. It's hard to imagine that Deyn ever had to try to win over the blokes just as it's difficult to envisage her wearing loads of slap or anything other than her distinctive personal style. "My current look is Debbie Harry meets Edie Beale meets Ian Dury," she tells British Vogue. I think that pretty much sums up the whole 'it' girl tag then for there's no denying it, Deyn is definitely the model of the moment right now. [Images: Getty]

    I can say that we can't compare Agyness Deyn with Kate Moss, because absolutely Aggy is another individual and she's doing her own style as a model and she's really great on her career. She is a wonderful grace in the model industry. And she's a feast of an eye. and I can proudly say that Agyness Deyn is one of the best models this generation has ever had.

    Agyness Dean was nothing before Vogue, and suddenly Shes Everywhere!



    But shes a stunning girl and she does have an amazing unique style!



    Shes no competition to Kate Moss, because she hasnt been around half as long and theyre both very different but she is really fantastic!

    About four years ago i tried my hand at fashion photography and my first test shoot was shooting Agyness (this is not a lie). I unfortantly retouched the hell out of her and the photos were not really that good. She was a really nice girl though and I think this maybe why people have given her the breaks because she is so easy to work with.
