Agyness Deyn brings androgyny backBeing hailed as the next Kate Moss, British model Agyness Deyn oddly looks nothing like the infamous supermodel. She has super-short blond hair, and her personal style is more leather jackets and black jeans than dresses or tights.
Even on the runway or on the cover of British Vogue, she is a mix of masculine and feminine, and her androgynous look is popping up everywhere (she's currently in ads for Burberry and Georgio Armani).
The New York Times recently wrote, “Boy-short, peroxide-blond heads of hair are appearing all over fashionable London, replacing the long and shaggy locks that were the dominant look of the last few years.” Someone call Jenny Shimizu — it would appear that androgyny is making a comeback. (Not that it went away in the gay community, but in mainstream fashion, it's always a fleeting fad.)
Deyn is (sadly) straight, but the fact that her look is being hailed as hot while being featured in the mainstream media is kind of awesome. Who doesn't appreciate variety — especially when it comes in a lesbian-looking package? Perhaps she'll open the door for less feminine models to have successful careers without having to alter themselves into a more feminine version of themselves (cough — Kim Stolz — cough). Meanwhile, here's one more pic of Agyness:

I like Agyness Deyn because she is so edgy.
But i like Freja Beha - long rumoured to be 'not so straight' - more.
Don't we all love an enigma?
wow!

Also, that user posted picture by Katherine-- very nice!
oh kim, what are we going to do with you...
i'm so glad you mentioned kim here because i was just ranting about her a few days ago for this very reason.
on antm she was the hottest thing to grace that show ever, but now? not so much... selling out your sexuality is definitely not hot.
I love

She's cute, BUT
She's cute, BUT
Linda Evangelista will ALWAYS be the Queen of the "androgyny" look....Always...
Linda blows her out of the water! ;) Linda is probably my favorite model, aside from Cindy ofcourse. ;)

My favourite androgynous model
has got to be Elyse Sewell, another ANTM alumna. But what really sets her apart from the others IMHO is that her intelligence almost surpasses her beauty. And she's a wonderful photographer, too! I absolutely admire her.
Not too keen on Agyness, to be honest. I mean, yay for androgyny! But she looks kind of... well, common. Freja is great, though!
I still love Kim Stolz. So maybe she let her hair grow out and gained a bit of weight - I find it hard to believe that someone told her to do these things specifically in order to "femme it up". I may be biased because I think she's got nice taste in music, though ;)
Elyse
WOW
Fierce
There's not many models that can pull off the dungarees.
Freja is a lesbian
She's been vague about her sexuality before, but not anymore. It's a well known fact that she's a lesbian.
There was some rumor that she was with Eddie Klint, but that was false I believe. She's for sure gay.
She's been with many female models, and is also known to be all over girls at various parties. She was with Irina L. But currently, I think she is single.
freja
Beautiful
Agyness
Never thought about this^^
Even if it's obvious when you think about it a little!! Agyness is not her real name so maybe she chose it because of that... or just because it does look like the name of a well-known beer brand...
Still think she is really straight (forward^^)
