New York has lost one of its most treasured model citizens to Los Angeles. Agyness Deyn’s Twitter bio may still list New York as her adopted hometown, but the Manchester-bred beauty has officially moved to L.A. On Monday night, the supermodel mixed it up at an All Saints charity event for Not For Sale at the Music Box in Hollywood, where she and friend Chris Bletzer played music before a Black Rebel Motorcycle Club concert.

Save for the occasional overseas editorial here and there, English model Agyness Deyn's remained elusive for the last two years. So while her latest stint isn't stateside, we're glad to see the 28-year-old back on the campaign-modeling trail in a new ad for iconic British footwear brand Dr. Martens.

Damn Monday nights. A little while ago I'd use Monday nights to get rid of the idea that the weekend was over, and the next one so far away, by promptly leaving work and tossing back copious amounts of open-bar booze at some after-work affair. This would be promptly followed by a barrage of whiskey on the rocks at Lit Lounge, until I would promptly go to bed around 5 a.m. It made me feel better about participating in the workforce. These days, I'm a bit gun-shy about pulling the trigger on a Monday night. It's dangerous when you've got some real responsibility, but I still get a little antsy. So I'm home in my gym clothes, still trying to look cute for my bf, who is clearly more interested in whatever spread sheet he's glued to. Could be work, could be some kind of fantasy football thing, could be some kind of elaborate date plan he's mapping out. Right. I pour myself a monster glass of wine and think about the fun things I could be doing if it wasn't 10:45 already, and I wasn't an hour away from looking decent.

Not only can you gain insight into model Agyness Deyn’s favorite things on her online magazine Naag.com, if you're in NYC this summer, you can share a beer with her, too. Deyn is gearing up to play barkeep for the next two months for a pop-up pub sponsored by British fashion mega brand AllSaints. The insta-bar is set to open in the VIP area of Williamsburg's Jelly Pool Parties concert series. “Based on their description, we're imagining Guy Ritchie's Punch Bowl—the venue boasts vintage fixtures, an old world bar, steel beams, and exposed brick walls—perfect for a quick-trip to London without that pesky airplane ticket,” says Refinery 29.

It was back in February when I first noted that Aggyness Deyn would soon be channeling Anna Wintour's editorial savvy. Now, said project has premiered: the major model has teamed up with longtime friend and former senior reporter at NME Fiona Byrne to launch an online magazine called Naag (the moniker being a combination of the two founders' first names). It turns out Deyn's Vogue avatar is actually Grace Coddington, as she'll play Creative Director on the project to Bryne's Editor-in-Chief. The content so far is definitely worthwhile, although by no means groundbreaking. There's a glowing review of NYC lingerie shop Journelle, as well as a shout out to Naag's new favorite drink: a Penny Drop at The Standard's Boom Boom Room. Considering Byrne's editorial background, music reviews, which include highlights of new bands Ganglians and Delorean, are one component audiophiles will want to follow. .

“She was my height my weight my size/She wore braces and blue jeans/She was my skinhead girl” goes the lyrics to Symarip’s 1970’s hit “Skinhead Girl.” Named after their cropped or shaven heads, skinheads are, more literally, members of a working-class subculture that originated in Britain in the 1960s. Their look has been subtly cropping up in fashion ads like Fred Perry, in Sartorialist snaps and now, thanks to bad-ass fashion chicks like Burberry model Laura Fraser, Alice Dellal and the newly shorn Agyness Deyn the downtown lifestyle is set to become the next high fashion beauty trend.

Here it is, folks! Supermodel Agyness Deyn has made her acting debut in a 13-minute short titled Mean to Me. Directed by Peter McGough and co-starring The Wings of the Dove star Linus Roache, the film has Deyn smoldering in decades-old pearls and a Zac Posen-designed gown. And, to my surprise and perhaps chagrin, she's not all that bad hamming it up alongside Roache. In fact, in a way, I found her to be kind of magnetic to watch. But it's certainly not the first time a model has tried her hand at thespianism. After the jump, a buffet of beauties who've graced -- and perhaps disgraced -- the big screen.

Coco Rocha and Jessica Stam apparently aren't the only mannequins to launch clothing lines in recent weeks. While Rocha debuted her first design at the Grammy's last month, Stam will be putting her own touch on a handful of pieces for Rachel Roy's line for Macy's. And, sometime in between launching both her acting career and sorting out plans for a not yet up-and-running online magazine, model Agyness Deyn has successfully transitioned into fashion design as well. Deyn has created a total of 11 looks for Barneys, which will hit the retailer's new shop in Kobe, Japan's racks this Friday (a subsequent launch at Barneys' Shinjuku outpost is slated for March 13).

Having already added singer to her lengthy title, Agyness Deyn is now following in the footsteps of Gwyneth Paltrow. Deyn just debuted in her first film--a 12-minute long film noir called Mean to Me that's significantly more art house than Oscar worthy. But she's also channeling GOOP with a new online endeavor. Deyn and friend Fiona Byrne are launching their very own magazine... one whose name is oddly similar to Paltrow's own weekly newsletter. It's called "Naag.com ([but] don’t even bother [checking out the site], right now there’s nothing on, not even an 'Aggy says come back soon' sign, just an impersonal url name holder banner)," says StyleFrizz.
