Leading Fashion Influencer of the Vibrant '60s - Distinct Fashion Pioneers of the 1960s
Born on the 19th of September, 1949, she breezed into the world as Lesley Hornby, but the world knew her as Twiggy, after her twig-like physique, resembling a thinner branch, a nickname bestowed by a journalist. This dame became the embodiment of the iconic 1966, christened the "face of '66" herself. As she sashayed through the years, she ultimately became the epitome of the "Swinging Sixties" - a period that Twiggy single-handedly revolutionized. Unintentionally, she also overthrew the beauty norms of the fifties. The voluptuous bosoms, pronounced curves, and luscious, curly locks that were once adorned by screen sirens such as Brigitte Bardot and Sophia Loren, suddenly lost their charm and allure.

Her influence extended beyond her physique, her fashion choices continuing to resonate with society even today.
