Introduction

In 1966, a young Lesley Hornby became the face of an era. Changing her name to Twiggy, she turned the modelling world upside down with her unique androgynous style and famed large eyes, becoming a defining figure of the swinging 60s London. Out of this success she built a multifaceted career. Director Sadie Frost charts Twiggy’s rise and her continued success in this fascinating documentary portrait.
