The beautiful young Brit was born on February 16, 1983 with the name of Laura Hollins. She worked in a fish & chip store in Manchester before she was discovered (much like a fairytale Cinderella story…) where she met her best friend, the designer Henry Holland of "House of Holland", and creator of the Holland rhyming slogans T-shirts, with whom she was walking in Kentish town when she was spotted by a Models 1 agency scout.
Agyness became a star, appearing on every major fashion runway for the biggest names in the fashion world, gracing magazine covers, presenter & face of "House of Holland" & for Burberry, Gold by Giles Deacon, the muse for designer Jeremy Scott, winning the 2007 "Model of the year" award at the British Fashion Awards and high-street giant Zara has ordered Agyness's image mannequins… it seems like she is everywhere!
Agyness is well known for her super cute bleached cropped hair and her unique quirky fashion style which consists of random, inexpensive bits all thrown together along with cool stuff she's spotted on the spur of the moment, or as she calls it:" proper mad". Her swift rise to fame over the past year along with her distinctive style gained her the title "the new
Kate Moss"; it seems like no matter what this beauty wears catches on as a trend.
Besides modeling the young beauty also plays in a band named "Lucky Knitwear", she sings with the band Five O'Clock Heroes the track "Who" and recently formed her own band "Gene Jacket". Currently our favorite gal is shooting for a short film titled "The Right Side of My Exultant Brain" co-written by Agyness's band mate Alanna Masterson, Agyness plays an imaginary friend alongside Dustin Hoffman's son, Jake.
Agyness now lives in New-York with her boyfriend, Josh Hubbard, guitarist with the "Paddingtons", enjoys her career, collecting royal memorabilia, which she displays next to her "Sex Pistols" souvenirs. "It's bonkers", she says, "and very Agyness".
