Agyness: Is Awesome; Is Not Designing a Line

Mar 17, 2008 @ 2:59pm

And now, a note from Faran...

I had the incredible opportunity to check out the Topshop headquarters last week as part of my trip to London. It was a rather OMG experience, complete with a virtual tour of their latest collections, a visit to the crammed Topshop fashion closet, and a peek at Kate Moss' latest collection.

Needless to say, I sort of cried.

And while I was trying on my favorite new Topshop dress - a floral tiered silk cocktail frock with purple and blue pansies that has an exposed zipper in back - I had to ask their PR masterminds:

Will Agyness Deyn be designing a new Topshop line?

"Er, no," was their reply. "She was photographed with Sir Phillip Green, and so the story got very inflated. Right now, Kate Moss has one of the best selling lines in high street history, and so there's really no limit to how far that can go... but Agyness is gorgeous and very, very cool. So never say never."

But it seems safe to say, "Not for now."

Alas.

it's their site, they can be obsessed with aggy if they want. I don't get why there's so much pushy pushy from anonymous commenters on so many blogs today. I was over at the Sartorialist and every stinkin' anon comment was about how the sart should or should not post or take a picture of this or that! It's his site! It's their site!

I agree Syako. It's their site and they can do as they please. On another note, I wish US Vogue would follow suit and start putting models on the cover again (I know, it's been said a million times before).
