Apparently someone has a crush on Agyness Deyn.

Stephanie Prommer is a writer, editor and stylist in the fashion and entertainment industry. She's on the scene at all the hot parties, bringing you the inside scoop on A-list style and gossip.

If you're a cool kid in the city with an asymmetrical haircut or intentionally ironic T-shirt, then you were probably at the Milk Gallery on June 24^th for the vernissage of the "Rebel Rebel" art exhibit. Showcasing a collaboration between rock 'n roll photographer Mick Rock and artist Russell Young and benefiting The Art of Elysium, the display featured Warholian-style screen prints of David Bowie, Iggy Pop and Lou Reed splashed in acid-bright hues.

Notable names in attendance included British model Agyness Deyn, Riley Keough (Elvis' grandbaby), Elijah Wood, Joshua Jackson, fashion designer Tara Subkoff, and Danny Masterson of That 70's Show fame, who spun records under the best moniker ever: "DJ Mom Jeans." Joshua Jackson told me that he wasn't actually even invited to the fete, saying: "My brother is friends with the gallery owner. I wish I could say I was on the list, but I wasn't on the list. I'm the random brother. I put in 30 years on this connection, and it's about time it started paying off!"

In a strange turn of events there was also a high quotient of All My Children stars there, including Rebecca Budig, Cameron Mathison and Michael E. Knight. Why, you ask? Because artist Russell Young is married to former soap diva-turned-style-expert Finola Hughes.

You can't keep a good woman down for long.

Just after Burberry gave her the boot, Agyness Deyn has gracefully landed in Jean Paul Gaultier's commercial for his recently launched perfume, Ma Dame.

In the commercial, the Manchester native dons a long platinum blonde wig, which she hacks all off towards the end to expose her cooler-than-thou peroxide pixie cut. But not before she begins ripping off her sleeves, shirts, and pant legs. The thirty-four second fragrance spot was shot in black and white and has a 80s retro feel to it -- probably paying homage to Gaultier's days of courting Madonna with cone bras.

Watch and enjoy.

If fashion is war, then consider Zandile Blay your embedded reporter. From fashion shows to stylish parties, she's there to cover it all -- from London to New York and everywhere in between. Read all about it from your favorite fashionista.

When it comes to London's East End, parties are almost like a family reunion. Especially if your family is the type in which men like superstar designer Henry Holland (above) sport bleached blond hair and cut off shorts . But I digress....Earlier this week Henry (well really his press agent) invited me to get "Extra Close" at a party in Archie's Archway in trendy East London.

Wow. How quick the mighty have fallen.

It seems as if it were just yesterday that we began ragging on supermodel Agyness Deyn's coveted and contrived grunge style, gasping over her dethronement of Kate Moss on top Tatler's best dressed list, and giggling because of the party that's being thrown in honor of a life-sized mannequin that bares her resemblance.

Why, oh why, do celebrities insist on torturing us like this. What did we do to deserve a singing career by Agyness Deyn.

By now, you've probably noticed, that over here at Styledash we don't consider Agyness Deyn quite the little fashion icon that she's made out to be elsewhere on the web. But, we aren't afraid to eat humble pie every once in a while. So we'll just admit it -- Agyness wore something normal to the NME Awards Show last night!

Amy Winehouse isn't the only Brit squandering away her talent and good looks on drugs and alcohol. It seems another celeb from the other side of the big pond is always having some trouble staying away from the dark side. Agyness Deyn is reported to be doing a crash detox in order to save her good looks.

After being dethroned by Agyness Deyn for the #1 spot on Tatler's best dressed list, Kate Moss has been drowning her sorrows in alcohol. She's been out on the town boozing it up for the last four nights in a row. Kate does have a lot of time on her hands these days considering that not only did Agyness take the #1 spot, but she has also been taking all Kate's jobs.

Agyness is going to be the face for Burberry and Armani, brands both of which at one time would have asked Kate Moss to fill that position. But they have no need to ask old "haggard looking" (the Daily Mail's words, not mine) drug abusing Kate when they can get Kate version 2.0 to do the job.

While I do agree that Agyness' fresh faced beauty gives her a few extra bonus points over Kate, I don't agree that she's more stylish than the legendary Miss Moss. Agyness' look makes it seem as if she were just trying way too hard to look like she's not trying. Whereas Kate really doesn't have to try. Her hard partying might be catching up to her, but her style is still truly effortless. For pete's sake and crying out loud, the woman even looks glam when she's walking through the mud with the world's biggest drug addict on her arm!

Check out 6 pictures of each famous super models's best looks at various events, and then tell me who you think is the best dressed. Or maybe you think they both look like clowns half the time. That's OK too.

Love her or hate her: you can't knock the hustle of Laura Hollins AKA Agyness Deyn.

The Manchester supermodel has effortlessly managed to get the whole fashion industry to bask in her awesomeness. And how did she accomplish such a feat?

She bleached her mousy brown hair and then got it chopped off into the trendy pixie cut that she currently rocks. Also, the professional mannequin wears lots of vintage clothing, hoodies, and neon Ray Ban wayfarers. In fashion, this is what they call "edgy" and "having a true sense of style."

Need further proof of Deyn's gangsta?

Tatler magazine just dethroned Kate Moss on their best-dressed list to put Agyness in the No.1 spot. Yes, that would be the same Kate Moss who single-handedly brought back skinny jeans, and, well, everything else she puts on her tiny body.

So, what made Tatler give Agyness Kate's crown?

Well, according to the UK magazine,"Whether she's sipping chai at the Russian Tea Rooms in Primrose Hill or kicking back at Henry Holland's studio, she's fash-fabulous... Rockin."

Um, yeah.

Honestly, Agyness's look couldn't be anymore unoriginal and contrived. And yet I still can't make myself hate her. Something about her is just so damn lovable.

See, I told you guys she was gangsta.

This, in case you haven't been keeping up with British models (and who can?), is Agyness Deyn.

Agyness Deyn is pronounced like "Agnes Dean". It just has a bunch of extra letters, like "crocheted" and all words in French.

There's something unusual about this adorable lady: she has short hair! Most models have heaping, malleable hair that can be morphed into a shape complimentary to what they are wearing. Think of the Project Runway models. They are new to the business and so, for the most part, they have long hair. They are playing by the rules.

Agyness? Not so much. This brave 25 year old is sporting short hair and it totally works for her! I'd go so far as to say she looks iconic, in an irreverent way. She doesn't remind me of Audrey Hepburn in Roman Holiday or Mia Farrow in Rosemary's Baby. She sort of reminds me of Andy Warhol.

Here are some other famous girls with boy hair:

These actresses are brave. My actress friend Emily swears that ever since she cut her hair, she only gets cast as lesbians.

Really? Does short hair make you a lesbian?

It's been a while since I've seen a really head-turning girl who aspires to the supermodel crown.

Gemma Ward, Natalia Vodianova and Daria Werbowy are beautiful, but it was a black and white spread in the January issue of W shot by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott that alerted me to a new talent. It features a stunning androgynous model named Agyness Deyn. Part Edie Sedgwick, part 1990s Linda Evangelista, the young model with the shock of cropped blonde hair and dark eyebrows above bright blue eyes is one to watch.

Check out her pics and let me know what you think, is this girl the next supermodel?
