Biography
About Twiggy
Twiggy, born Lesley Lawson on 19th September 1949 in Neasden, England, became a defining figure of the 1960s London fashion scene. Her slim, androgynous look and short haircut made her instantly recognizable, and she was named "The Face of 1966" by the Daily Express. With her blonde hair and blue eyes, she stood 5'6" and weighed 110 lbs, with natural measurements of 31-23-32. Her career began at age 16, and she has remained active as a model for over 60 years.
Beyond modeling, Twiggy is also an actress and singer. She was voted British Woman of the Year, and her influence as a British culture icon during the swinging '60s remains notable. She has earlobe piercings and is of Caucasian ethnicity. Now 76, she is still recognized as a pioneer in the fashion industry, though her legacy speaks for itself.
