Photos of Twiggy at Her Peak, Seen from the Beginning
The charming face of a generation.
Published 1 week ago in Wow
Models looked like perfect dolls in the 1960s, and you never heard of them apart from seeing their pictures in the magazines. That all changed when Twiggy burst onto the modeling scene in the mid '60s.
Some models tried on the clothes and posed, but Twiggy modeled a whole revolution. She represented everything traditional models were not. She had cropped hair, big eyes, and an androgynous charm that made her the face of a generation.
She wasn’t polished or elegant, she was the representation of an electric youth. Every photo captured way more than just her beauty and these ones take us back to her best moments, when a London girl became the symbol of cool.
