Many of those who are interested in the world of fashion know the name Agness Dane. She is a recognized icon of the English youth style. In addition, it is precisely the model of Agness Dane today - one of the most sought-after in the world of fashion, as well as one of the rare lucky ones who escaped from a small ordinary town to the fashionable world stages exclusively by their work, moving step by step towards the intended goal.
Essays on the life of the model
Agness Dane began her life journey from a small town in the English county of Greater Manchester. She grew up in a large family, without a father. The mother was forced to support all three children on a small salary of a nurse in a local hospital. Accordingly, Agness (or rather, Laura Hollins, as she was then called), realizing early that there was no one to wait for help, got a job as a saleswoman in a nearby store. Then in a small city restaurant - as a waitress, providing not only herself, but also helping the family. At the same time, the future model continued to successfully study at school and eventually entered the Lyceum. At 16, Laura went to work in a local beer bar, and her modeling career began with him. The owner of the bar decided to hold a beauty contest, one of the participants of which was Laura and, of course, won, and went to conquer London for the received reward.
Finding a place in the sun
In order to somehow survive in a big city, she had to get a job in a night bar, and during the day, a future diva upholstered the thresholds of modeling agencies and went to various castings, trying to cling to the modeling sphere. Nevertheless, she received her first significant contract with the modeling agency Models-1 by accident - in the street she ran into a famous photographer.
It was this chance acquaintance that became the starting point of her modeling career. Models-1 stylists turned the provincial English freaky girl Laura into a platinum blonde with character - Britain’s youth style icon, Agnes Dane.
An authentic style was created for her, which fully corresponded to her sharp character. The young model ’s business card was a short “boy-like” haircut, large chains, bracelets and a defiant look.
It should be noted that even now, the already held model does not change its image as a whacky girl. Each new haircut of Agness Dane causes an explosion of delight, this woman is used to shocking the audience and does not recede from her traditions. She easily parted with platinum curls of a bob hairstyle, dyeing them black, then generally turns into a short-cut, but at the same time very feminine boy. Adoring all hats without exception, she constantly changes her style, while remaining fashionable and youthful.
First success
In 2006, the first photos from Agness Dane appeared on the cover of Vogue magazine.
From the moment Agness came to work at Models-1 agency, and her face began to appear on the covers of world fashion magazines, she was invited to cooperate with the best fashion houses: Burberry, John Galliano, Giorgio Armani, Vivienne Westwood, Paul Smith, Cacharel other.
Designer Henry Holland was fascinated by her beauty, and Agness, thanks to his guardianship, began to represent the fashion house House of Holland and a collection of T-shirts from Henry Holland.
On the wave of popularity
The peak of her fame can be called the year 2008, when in London, model Agness Dane became the main "event" of fashion week. She was also recognized as the best model of the year by the British Fashion Awards and took part in the advertising campaign of the New Look brand, displacing Drew Barrymore from this place. At this time, they started talking about the fact that Agness decided to change her profession and leave the modeling business in show business. She even created her own musical group, but this undertaking was never crowned with success. She had to return to the modeling field, and already in 2008 Agness again conquered the world podiums. However, her musical hobbies paid off, and a couple of years later she was invited to star in the video of Five O'Clock Heroes, and in 2011 in the video of the French musician Woodkid.
Now Agness Dane continues to work in the fashion industry, representing the brands Jean Paul Gaultier Ma Dame, Shiseido and House of Holland, as well as Beat toilet water from Burberry.
Successful in everything
Agness Dane can be called not only a sought-after model, but also a successful, held woman. She excelled not only in the fashion industry, but also in her personal life. At different periods of her modeling career, she was in a love relationship with show business stars such as musicians Josh Hubbard and Miles Kane, and Hollywood (actor Josh Harnett). And in 2012, another American actor, Giovanni Ribisi, with whom she secretly married, became her chosen one. Now the spouses do not yet have their family hearth and live either in the United States or in England. However, in the near future, much will change in this lifestyle. In the near future, the couple intend to acquire a new home and finally decide on a permanent residence.
Agnes Dane's career has become a model not only of determination, but also of the great talent of the model.
