A few weeks before the release of her second studio album, Maggie Rogers is still grappling with its title. Surrender, out July 29, is an ode to giving in, breaking free and finding joy amid chaos. But on our video call in late June, Rogers is quick to state that she doesn’t yet have all […]

Maybe it’s the British class system, or the stiff upper lip, or maybe it’s the Queen, but there’s something about the Brits that makes them born to rebel. From Teddy Boys and indie kids to skinheads and punk rockers, the desire to challenge social convention is somehow quintessentially Made in England. And, more often than not, that rebellious spirit has gone hand-in-hand with a pair of beat-up Dr. Martens. Worn loose and undone, high and tightly laced or studded with a chunky platform sole, the iconic leather boot with its signature yellow stitching has become a symbol of individual self-expression. And if Docs are the symbol, model-turned-actress Agyness Deyn is the muse.

True to her British roots, Deyn, whose third collection with Dr. Martens launches this fall, has always stood out from her model peers with her rock ’n’ roll edge and tomboy style, in which her Dr. Martens have played a starring role. “I probably have about 10 that I wear regularly,” she says. “My favourite is a pair of cherry ones that I’ve had since I was a teenager. I think I’ve had them longer than I’ve not had them.”

See Edie Sedgwick’s style in life and on the runways »

Though she dominated just a sliver of time at Andy Warhol’s Factory in the sixties, Edie Sedgwick’s platinum blond bob, magpie style and tragic penchant for the excess has transfixed designers and artists alike long since her death by drug overdose in 1971. This season, Sedgwick is back into the spotlight thanks to perennial cool maker Marc Jacobs, who opened his Spring 2013 collection with one so unquestionably Edie look: a simple striped black and white T-shirt worn over hot pants, a platinum blond bob and low slung kitten heels. The look transformed for Fall 2013, with boudoir ready looks hitting the runways over and over at Louis Vuitton and Saint Laurent.

The original Poor Little Rich Girl splashed onto the art scene starring in the Warhol-directed at film of the same name in 1965, and quickly deemed a “youthquaker” by Diana Vreeland, then editor of Vogue. She entered icon territory when rumoured paramour Bob Dylan left traces of her within “Just Like a Woman,” and “Leopard Skin Pillbox Hat.”

Sedgwick embodied the freewheeling sixties with her more is more approach to layering fur and leopard print over striped T-shirts (worn simply as dresses) while accessorizing with shoulder length chandelier earrings, exaggerated mod eye makeup and false lashes. Since, everyone from Courtney Love to Agyness Deyn and most recently Emma Watson has replicated her style. She’s become an inspirational mainstay over the years, re-appearing every few seasons in a new form at Burberry, Proenza Schouler and Dior Couture and more. Even Sofia Coppola fell under the spell, with a onetime capsule collection designed as an ode to Sedgwick in 1994. Sedgwick’s popularity reached fever pitch a few years back with the 2006 biopic Factory Girl starring Sienna Miller, whose own style was bound to Sedgwick’s at the time.

See the celebs that stopped by NKPR’s IT Lounge during TIFF »

The NKPR IT Lounge is undoubtedly one of Toronto’s swankiest TIFF gifting suites. Stars like Catherine Deneuve, Olivia Wilde, Ryan Gosling and AnnaLynne McCord have all stopped by in years past and with NKPR amping up their megawattage with the addition of legendary fashion photographer Patrick Demarchelier shooting celebs for a day during TIFF, it’s not hard to see why boldface names like Daniel Radcliffe, Nina Dobrev, Adrien Grenier and Agyness Deyn stopped by.

The Fall 2012 Dr. Martens campaign is here, and we’ve got an exclusive first look before its Canadian release tomorrow. Building on success with brand ambassador Agyness Deyn, Dr. Martens has placed punky British model Alice Dellal at the helm of this season’s campaign. Dellal is joined by model newcomers Billie Turnbull and Henry Pedro-Wright, as well musician Gwilym Gold—who has amassed some respectable modeling credits of his own, including Burberry’s Fall 2010 campaign. The image, shot by veteran Doc Marten photographer Gavin Watson, builds on the Dr. Martens British punk esthetic, showcasing Dellal, Turnbull and Pedro-Wright in a bathtub, with Dellal clad in some pretty amazing studded patent booties. Shot by directors Fred & Nick, and set to Gold’s sounds, the campaign video depicts the four four beautiful friends sharing a night out on the town. We’re not jealous at all. We’re really not.

Since most of us are still riding the wave of Britannia fanaticism post-London Olympics, news that Brit model Agyness Deyn has teamed up with famed London label Dr. Martens for a capsule collection could not be better timed.

Deyn, who first scored a pair of Dr. Martens boots at the age of 13, has been the face of the brand for the past two years. Her debut 29-piece collection will now have her at the helm of many design collaborations to come (a spring/summer 2013 line is already wrapped up). The collaboration pulls heavily from Deyn’s own signature grungy aesthetic, while also finding inspiration from style icons of the ‘90s.

Andrej Pejic is set to join the ranks of model-turned actors Agyness Deyn and Milla Jovivich in an upcoming film adaptation of Honoré de Balzac’s novel Séraphita. The leggy blond is predicted to play the namesake androgynous character. With its many love triangles, the story has our heads in a bit of a tangle. Thank […]

While most offenders of this crime are under 18 or over 40, Agyness Deyn is the latest to confess to lying about her age. The English supermodel’s CV may read 23, but she has confessed that she is actually 29. But why would she admit this now? you might ask. A rose by any other age may still smell as sweet, right?

Deyn tells the The Guardian: “When I decided I would really do modeling I was like 18, and I think at the time that was quite old for a new face, so we knocked off a few years.”

Hmm, we wonder if the supermodel would have confessed her age if her former classmates had not started a Facebook group entitled “Agyness Deyn You’re Not 18.”

She may have gotten away with the fib back then, but we’re sure with the CFDA’s new ID policy, this type of lie will now be nearly impossible to pull off (unless you’re walking at Marc Jacobs).

The line of signature eight-hole boots will be decked out with the best of Sanrio–a perfect consolation for kawaii (i.e. cuteness) fans who cried over the Takashi Murakami + Louis Vuitton price tags.
