Every couple of years the fashion industry will elevate a new model to "it girl" status. In the 80's it was Cindy Crawford, Naomi Campbell and Linda Evangelista in the 90's it was Kate Moss, Shalom Harlow and Amber Valetta. Now it seems the latest fashion "it girl" is a model from the UK who is New York based by the name of Agyness Deyn. Agyness, is a tall skinny androgynous looking girl who supposedly has lots of edgy rock and roll style. She does lots of "edgy" fashion shoots and ads, the most mainstream ads she does is for Burberry and Armani.
I personally don't get it. To me she looks like a combo of Bob Geldof's (creator of the of Live Aid concerts for all you kids not in the know) late wife Paula Yates and a little ten year old boy. I just feel like what's she's trying to do with her look and her persona has been done before and it's a little bit on the boring side.
Anyway now Agyness is trying her hand at singing, she's released a single with the New York based band Five O'Clock Heroes called "Who". Below is the video clip. Vocally Agyness isn't that bad but she's not great nor unique, she's meh vocally, the song is not groundbreaking at all and the video is a bit on the boring side. Now that I've given my opinion, I'm curious to know what you guys think of this clip and song??
Also linked below is Paula Yates' wikipedia entry complete with picture so you can see my point.
