Iconic 70s model Twiggy reflects on her enduring impact on fashion and the relief she feels that weight-loss injections have shifted the blame away from her for promoting anorexia. She discusses her iconic look, her brief modeling career, her successful acting journey, and the enduring popularity of her 60s makeup style among Gen Z.
Twiggy , the iconic 75-year-old model known for her waif-like appearance, expresses relief that weight-loss injections are now widely available, absolving her from the stigma of promoting anorexia. In an interview with You magazine, she states, 'It's annoying I've got this reputation for putting slimness above all else. I've even been blamed for promoting anorexia and it's all such rubbish.
The only thing I wonder about with these weight-loss drugs is the long-term side effects – but if they work, they work. At least I don't feel that I'm in the firing line in the whole skinny debate like I used to be.' Twiggy, whose real name is Lesley Hornby, rose to fame at the tender age of 16 after a photograph showcasing her distinctive cropped hairstyle appeared in a Mayfair hairdresser's window. She modeled for a brief four-year period, excluding recent collaborations with Marks & Spencer, and transitioned into acting, earning two Golden Globe awards for her portrayal in The Boy Friend in 1971. Her enduring influence is evident in the resurgence of her 1960s makeup style among Gen Z, with TikTok videos recreating her look garnering over 100 million views. Now a grandmother of five, Twiggy acknowledges the surreal nature of her meteoric rise to fame. 'I'll have to explain Twiggy to the grandkids one day,' she says. 'But it's a ridiculous story and quite hard to believe, isn't it? A 16-year-old girl has a haircut and has a photo taken. Then the world goes mad.' Despite her contemporaries' involvement in the hedonistic culture of the 1960s, Twiggy remained steadfast in her values, attributing her grounded nature to her father's influence. She recounts a chilling encounter with music producer Phil Spector, involving loudspeakers, a pistol, and a ceiling shot, emphasizing her preference for a more ordinary lifestyle. 'Totally crazy – a cup of tea and a biscuit is more my scene,' she concludes
