>> Agyness Deyn Is Not Retiring From Modeling —Despite rumors that she's leaving modeling for acting, Agyness Deyn's agent Louie Chaban says it's not so: “She’s focusing more on an acting career. But she loves what she does. She has no plans to stop.” A recent interview with the NY Times had to be scheduled around a movie she was shooting in Europe, but Agyness refuses to answer any questions about her music or film projects, only indicating that she's looking into "branching out" from modeling “into stuff that really pushes the boundaries, raises the bar . . . like, puts you out of your comfort zone."

Bianca Balti's "Erotic Summer" for Playboy France June/July 2009
>> Models are making some scores stateside with the August 2009 issues — Steven Klein shot Lara Stone as Brigitte Bardot for W and Christy Turlington is headlining Vogue's Age Issue, shot by Annie Leibovitz. But if raw is what you're looking for, Greg Lotus shot Bianca Balti for the June/July 2009 cover of French Playboy — the magazine that has featured Anouck Lepere, Lily Cole, and been photographed by Karl Lagerfeld and Terry Richardson in the past — with little to cover up in, save a bikini bottom and a stretch of net.
