British supermodel Agyness Deyn leaped off a building completely NUDE during a daring photoshoot that took place in May of this year. Over two weeks ago, many of us were shocked and saddened by the news that 20 year old supermodel Ruslana Korshunova jumped (or fell) to her death from her swanky NYC apartment on June 29th. The death was, for me and lots of people, really tragic.
On a much lighter note, Deyn's leaping shots were taken by New York City-based photographer Ryan McGinley for Pop Magazine who tried to recreate a famous picture of a couple leaping from a fire escape on a building that was in flames.
Agyness appeared to jump from the second floor fire escape but only fell a couple of feet on her way down and landed safely on the ground.
Agyness' stunt reportedly left onlookers gasping — for more reasons than one.
