Fashion news 29.04.10 Agyness Deyn designs for UniqloThe British supermodel-extraordinaire, Agyness Deyn, is launching a limited-edition range of T-shirts in collaboration with the global fast-fashion retailer, Uniqlo. The collection, which the Manchester-born model worked on with her younger sister, Emily, comprises quirky T-shirts, tunics and tank tops, adorned with Polaroid-style photo prints. The creations have a distinctly fun, home-made feel about them, reflecting activities that the Deyn sisters enjoy doing together in New York, where they both now live. Hand-written messages complete the designs, such as “Live life in the fast lane” under a picture of a pair of bowling shoes, while another T-shirt features a shot of cupcakes iced to say “I love you”, is customised with the motto: “More than cake”. It is not the first time that Agyness Deyn, who was crowned Model of the Year at the British Fashion Awards in 2007, has worked with the Japanese retailer. Last summer, she was the “face” of the brand’s sportswear campaign, alongside Kelly Osbourne’s model-fiancé, Luke Worrall. Deyn's sister Emily, 22, moved to New York to be close to her model sister, and has founded her own design company, HusseinDeyn. |
