Laura Hollins or usually called Agyness Deyn born on 16 February 1983. She is an English model and singer. She has been hailed as "the fashion industry's next great supermodel".Deyn is from Failsworth in Metropolitan Borough of Oldham, Greater Manchester. She had a mother named Lorraine(nurse). She is the 2nd child from three.She attended All Saints RC High School, as well as Bacup and Rawtenstall Grammar School and Sixth Form in Waterfoot, Rossendale.
Deyn's name was apparently coined to further her modelling career after she consulted her mother's friend, a numerology expert who advised her of the most 'fortuitous' way to spell the name 'Agnes'. It was reported that her mother Lorraine and sister Emily have both changed their surname to Deyn, while Lorraine has changed the I in her first name to Y.
Deyn's working life started serving part-time aged 13, at a fish and chip shop in Ramsbottom. Even at an early age she had an eye for style and by 17 she had already had her head shaved.n 1999, she won the Rossendale Free Press "Face of '99" competition, aged just 16.She then moved to London, working in a fast-food restaurant during the day and a bar at night but admits.During this time she says she was also at college in Hull, studying drama and music.
Deyn's biography states that she was spotted while shopping with fashion designer Henry Holland in Kentish Town, London.She then signed with SELECT model management. Currently she is signed with Models 1 in the UK.In May 2007 she was featured on the cover of Vogue from USA, alongside Doutzen Kroes, Caroline Trentini,Raquel Zimmerman,Sasha Pivovarova,Jessica Stam,Coco Rocha,Hilary Rhoda,Chanel Iman, and Lily Donaldson as the new crop of supermodels.

* My personal description about her :
· Colour: She knows how to pick the colours and style that works for her and wears always the right colour for the season, occasion and fashion- without being a fashion victim. She keeps a good contrast and makes the black work for her by keeping her eye brows dark and wearing it not too close to her face.
· Bodyshape: She is young, tall and a model and so blessed with a figure that will forgive a lot. The oversized shirt looks great on her because she has got loads of space between shoulder and bust, so she can cope with volume and details easily. The straight jacket is paired with skinny jeans
