I have a confession to make... I'm a little bit in love with Twiggy (real name; Lesley Hornby).
I've always loved her style and she was and still is such an inspiration to the fashion world. Another thing which makes me love her even more - her great cockney accent!
I was really interested to see if Twiggy had done anything recently in fashion (as i know she did launch a line of clothing called 'Twiggy Dresses' in 1966 but those dresses, I'm sure, would be very hard to get hold of! Also, I wanted to see how 'The Face of '66''s style had adapted to the modern era and what she was doing now - as much as I love the 60's!) so I did a little research and found that Twiggy has launched her Winter Collection with M&S.
Here are a few photos of ones which particularly caught my eye:
Floral Lace Biker Jacket
Oblong Hem Top with Camisole
Denim Jeggings
Front Sequin Embellished Jumper with Angora
In Twiggy's M&S Winter collection there are many items which I like but these ones seemed to appeal to me most. I think, even though I really like it, some of the items in the collection look great but I don't think would suit me! In some of the items Iv'e put another photo underneath to show the detail that has gone in to this collection.
I really like the buttons which say 'Twiggy' on; it's a personal touch which shows more thought has gone into the design.
Here are some of Twiggy's outfits from her earlier seasons with M&S which I like:
(This outfit is actually from a photo shoot with GoodHousekeeping - not from her M&S collection but I just wanted to point out that I like her style in this photograph).
As much as I love the now 63-year-old Twiggy's modern style - I will always get my first inspiration of 1960's fashion and think of Twiggy from the teenager that changed the face of the 60's. When her modelling career was at its prime she completely changed the look of style - a girl who painted on her eyelashes, had short hair, a boyish figure and a style mixed with mod and completely Twiggy; the girl was golden.
I really look up to Twiggy for many ways; of which is that she stayed true to herself and was so involved with everything she did (and still does!).
I love the 60's Twiggy style so her are a few pictures I particularly like of her:
As you can see, I think highly of Twiggy, but what is your opinion on her? Do you like her style or is it not for you? Let me know in the comments!
I hope you liked this instalment of the new 'mini series' of Model Inspirations - and I hope you liked this blast from the past as much as i did researching Twiggy ... girl crush.
Bye!
