Fashion designer Henry Holland has said that his friend Agyness Deyn shouldn't be compared to Kate Moss.

Speaking at his London Fashion Week show, Holland told Metro: "Agyness is Agyness, Kate is Kate. I don't think there's ever been anyone to challenge Kate Moss' status as a fashion icon."

Deyn has been subject to online debate about her real age. A Facebook page called Agyness Deyne You're Not 18 carried the following introduction: "This group is for all those who realise that supermodel Agyness Deyn is not 18, or 21 or any of the other ages she claims to be. We know people who went to school with her and will verify she is 24."

The model currently fronts a campaign for Burberry - replacing Kate Moss after the supermodel was dropped - and Giorgio Armani.
