What is it about nostalgia that takes us back to fashion of the 1960s and 70s? Mini skirts, bell bottoms, the hippie look with wide-legged, flared jeans and trousers, platform shoes, false eye lashes, blue eye shadow and flower power.

Much of the 60s fashion is often represented by images of British model ‘Twiggy’.

Twiggy was a superstar at just 17. She was the original waif. She was iconic in paving the way for top models like Kate Moss, Elle MacPherson, Linda Evangelista and Cindy Crawford. She drastically increased a models income.

She’s graced endless magazine covers, including British Vogue and Elle Magazine.

The enterprising aspect of being a top model was started by Twiggy. That influence is commonly seen in the business world today. She showed the world that models are more than just a pretty face.

A stand out reason for Twiggy’s tremendous success was that the public had never seen anyone like her. She had a completely new look, her  look took the entire world by surprise.

She will always be remembered. She was perfect. She was stunning.
