Each era has had a face or faces representative of the time and culture. Not necessarily perfect but unique, striking and cool. In the late 2000's there was a resurgence of indie and alternative rock in the West reminiscent of the 60-80s. Agyness bore a modernised resemblance to Twiggy and Debbie Harry and as such could be appropriated on runway shows influenced by current and predicted fashion trends. She was tall with striking bone structure and short bleach blonde hair. She came out of nowhere and adopted a highly sort after, not too common aristocratic punk look and as such became the 'it girl' everyone one was talking about

Thanks for the explanation. That makes total sense.

Nope still hot.

I think she’s the reason I did so well. I also had a short bowl cut and then eventually a bob, bleached blond, and I was pretty successful. Thank you Agnes for paving the way for us short haired models! lol

She’s great at posing

It’s weird that people think being a successful model is ONLY about being the most physically “beautiful” person. If that were the case, ANTM would just have everyone line up on day one, pick the hottest one, and then be done. Obviously models need certain physical characteristics, but beyond that it’s so much about your ability to MODEL.

She also walked right in and walked right out. Her career as a mode didn’t last long but she made an impact for sure

Honestly I never saw it she has a very boring face in my opinion and when I think IT model I think unique and interesting like Kate moss she has a very unique and interesting face

I agree with the beautiful portion of your statement.

Back then when? Never heard of her

I forgot about her but she was absolutely huge. She was a top model of that time.

u/ironburton avatar

She was one of the top models of the late aughts. If you read fashion magazines or followed fashion at all back then you would have seen her.

Early 2000s
