Agyness Deyn is a British-born fashion model who has been referred to as "the new Kate Moss." However, her down-to-earth persona has been noted as a breath of fresh air, compared to the glitzy British fashion establishment.

Deyn was romantically linked to rocker Albert Hammond Jr. Perez Hilton blogsite reported on March 23, 2009, that the couple had split.PerezHilton: Single Again (March 23, 2009)

Though she models for high-end brands Giorgio Armani and Burberry, Deyn's own background is far from posh. Born Laura Hollins near the gritty industrial capital of England, Manchester, she is the daughter of a nurse. While attending high school and college, Deyn reportedly helped support herself by serving fish and chips and hamburgers. It has been noted in the British press that her roots seem to show in her trademark tomboy-ish style, as well as the witty brand of self-deprecation she exhibits in interviews.

As of July 2008, Deyn was reportedly dating guitarist Albert Hammond, Jr. of The Strokes.PerezHilton.com: Kiss Me, I'm Loaded (July 12, 2008) The couple was photographed hand-in-hand in Los Angeles' bohemian Silver Lake neighborhood.
