Loathe: Agyness Deyn and Anything She Touches

I am not a fan of Agyness Deyn, I don’t think she is pretty, and most of the photos I’ve seen of her look the same. She’s got an ugly haircut, she’s standing in a weird, crooked way, and her mouth is hanging open. So I was pretty relieved when she eventually fell out of favour…

But I read today that according to Modelinia, Aggy’s sister has launched a line of t-shirts for Uniqlo. Who is her sister? Is she an artist, or fashion designer? Well, she has been “creating” t-shirts with her best friend for some time…although I don’t think that gives her the credibility to be a designer for Uniqlo. As sick as I am of the I’m-a-relative-of-a-famous-person phenomenon, the thing that disgusts me the most here, is that it is Uniqlo, one of my favourite fast fashion brands, engaging the sister of a past-her-sell-by-date model to design ugly t-shirts. It’s bad enough that Agyness Deyn has helped propel Henry Holland to fashion fame (hopefully he too is falling out of favour) but now we have to deal with her sister as well. Did Jil Sander have any say in this? I hope not.
