Agyness Deyn, Model

With a new website and pop-up pub on the go - not to mention that brief engagement to a Stroke - and of course the fledgling acting career; Aggy's been a busy girl.

But just when you thought she was gone from the pages of bona fide fashion magazines for good, relegated to the likes of short films and the best-dressed sections of lesser magazines; Agyness Deyn finally makes her triumphant return to modelling in a spread for V Magazine. The styling is an absolute dream, I want every outfit. Just one question; what's the likelihood her new haircut will spark as much of a trend as the last one?

More soon.

Isle Of Wight !!

I had the pleasure of going to the Isle of Wight festival last month courtesy of a very generous friend. I was very grateful to be camping in the guest area which was considerably cleaner and had the added luxury of (reasonably) nice bathrooms. I was left wishing I'd thought ahead and booked a 'pod pad' though as our flashy pop-up tent left much to be desired. Plus they looked super-cute! It was like a tiny, brightly-coloured village..

The weather was beautiful though so we couldn't really complain. This is the view that greeted me when I woke up on Saturday morning..

Saw lots of amazing acts but not nearly as many as I'd hoped to catch, as is usually the way with these things. Missed a fair few acts having been in the Ray-Ban Rooms taking full advantage of the free bar, spying on Kate Moss and commandeering The Hold Steady's previously peaceful baseball game..

There was some fantastic fashion on stage as demonstrated by Paloma Faith, Marina Diamandis, Coco Sumner and Florence Welch.

Paloma Faith had the best show-stopping stage outfit by far! She was fantastic.

Coco Sumner of I Blame Coco definitely had the best grunge look of the weekend. You can't see in the photo but she had the cutest brown brogues on with pulled up light grey socks too. I'd love this outfit!

Florence looked great in her usual floaty dress in either white/black/nude, hey, if it works..

Of course, there was lots of great festival fashion to feast your eyes on at the backstage bar too..

I have to say, I was pretty impressed with H&M's first foray into festival lounges with their amazing teepee complete with bar, food, couches, beanbags, incense, flatscreens showing the main stage and much-needed and environmentally-friendly solar phone charging. If you felt like waiting an hour, you could also get a leopard print manicure in any combination of colours you chose! Well worth it, I know, but unfortunately my boyfriend did not feel like waiting and so we headed off to see more bands..

Standouts for me over the weekend were The Strokes (obviously) and one of my absolute favourite bands right now, Local Natives. Local Natives were so great, they just had so much energy and they kept switching up who was on what instrument which made it really interesting to watch, never a dull moment. I really can't get enough of them at the moment.

I also enjoyed Marina and the Diamonds, I Blame Coco, Bombay Bicycle Club, La Roux, Paloma Faith, Blondie, Paul McCartney, Jay-Z and, for comedic value, Semi Precious Weapons. The only person I really regret missing is Florence!

Lara Stone and David Walliams tie the knot!

After a whirlwind romance, supermodel-of-the-moment, Lara Stone has finally married her funnyman beau, David Walliams. The couple met in mid-2009 and by January it was announced that the pair planned to wed, which understandly prompted lots of raised eyebrows. It was reported that ladiesman Walliams proposed with a beautiful vintage engagement ring after calling Lara's parents in Holland to ask for permission.

Witnessed by what was probably the weirdest guestlist ever (I never thought I'd see Dale Winton and Tom Ford at the same party); the couple were married in Claridge's hotel before moving on to Shoreditch House for the reception. Lara opted for a beautiful white lace Givenchy gown but changed into a shorter-than-short Ricardo Tisci for Givenchy gold minidress before heading over to the party in a gorgeous vintage Rolls Royce.

The happy couple

It must have been quite a party as guests included Walliams' co-star Matt Lucas, Elton John, Richard and Judy, Geri Halliwell, Jonathan Ross, Stephen Fry, Noel Gallagher, Natalie Imbruglia, James Corden, Fearne Cotton, Ronnie Corbett, Alan Carr, Jamie and Louise Redknapp, Tess Daly and Vernon Kay, Barbara Windsor, Dale Winton, Tom Ford, Denise van Outen and Sam Taylor-Wood and her fiancee, Kick-Ass star Aaron Johnson to name a few..

Alistair Guy's 'Shot From Above' at The Ivy

Sorry it's been a while, being a full-time fashion intern at Start keeps me pretty busy these days.

A couple of weeks ago I had the pleasure of attending a work event at The Loft at The Ivy. It was a private viewing of Alistair Guy's latest photography exhibition, 'Shot From Above', which features influential men in fashion. 'Shot From Above' follows seamlessly (forgive the pun) on from Alistair Guy's last exhibition, 'Behind The Seams', which focused on influential women in British fashion. The ten portraits, all shot from above, show the men in their respective work spaces. The likes of British Fashion Council chairman Harold Tillman, shoe designer Terry de Havilland, milliner Stephen Jones, designer William Tempest, jewellery designer Dominic Jones, Vogue's Robin Derrick, hairdresser James Brown and of course, boutique owner Philip Start, were all included.

The event was a hit with several of the distinguished men in question showing up to see their portraits. Guests sipped on Gin Brambles and Moscow Mules, the latter being my drink of choice. Grazia's Melanie Rickey was set to have her hen party that same night and so in the spirit of 'the more the merrier', Brix Smith-Start invited all 30 hens along who luckily behaved themselves, although as The Ivy was their first planned stop I can't speak for the rest of their night!

The event was sponsored by Mr. Start. The prints will be on display for the next month at the Mr. Start tailoring store, 59 Rivington Street, EC2, and are also available to be purchased.

The Life of a Fashion Intern. (one week in)

I've just started interning at Start, Brix Smith-Start and Philip Start's boutique in Shoreditch. Right now I'm mostly doing press and online stuff and I'm loving it. Lots of lending clothes out to press and getting them back. Online orders, online content such as designer bios etc. I'm hoping to get some buying experience soon too!

Check out a couple of blogs I wrote for Jeanette's pop-up shop at Start (which I helped put together), and the launch party (which I got to attend!):

Elle Japan came to the office last week and took some pictures of me and two colleagues for a feature on Start that should be in their July issue. I was lucky enough to get to style myself in anything I wanted from the Spring/Summer collections! I chose to wear two of my absolute favourites; Alexander Wang and Vivienne Westwood. It was shot in the street outside Start, I can't wait to see how it turns out. Here's a sneak preview of what I was wearing:

Alexander Wang top and trousers, Vivienne Westwood Anglomania x Melissa shoes. Vivienne Westwood necklace and earrings (my own). Fossil watch (my own). Stella McCartney bra (my own).

I'll try to keep you updated on any exciting new experiences I get to do whilst interning.

More soon xx
