Is the “Aggy” your top crop?

You must have heard of the “Aggy”, everyone is talking about it! They are saying it’s the ‘crop of the decade’. The pixie-chick-come-rock-rebel-peroxide-crop has been taking the world by storm ever since, a now very famous Agyness Deyn, was first shot by iconic photographer Mario Testino only two years ago.

The stylist on set, Sam McKnight saw her “graggy” brown locks and knew she needed more omph… a snip and a bottle of bleach later and the “Aggy” was born. McKnight secretly knew he was creating the next ‘Rachel’ with this girl.

As expected, a troop of celebrity copycats have followed with this cheeky, striking look, namely: Pixie Geldof (well with a name like that?) and Sarah Harding. I’m not sure if i’d rush out and get it tomorrow, but these girls certainly look like they are having fun!

However when Agyness dyed her hair brown to walk the S/S 08 Burberry Prorsum runway, she found that the offers for work were not so frequent without her trade mark blonde locks. So platinum she did return and quickly did her cover shots…
