History and High Heels: Style Icon: Twiggy

Twiggy, also known as Lesley Hornby, is a prominent English model, actress, and singer. She was particularly popular in the swinging '60s where she became famous for her androgynous looks, large eyes, and ultra-skinny figure. By her 16th birthday, she was the world's first international supermodel and named "The Face of 1966" by The Daily Express. Her look was epitomized by long eyelashes, mary jane shoes, and minidresses. She has recently come back into the spotlight with her guest judging on America's Next Top Model.

Some of Twiggy's looks are classic and and can easily be incorporated into your own wardrobe. Try out structured short dresses, striped outfits, black tights, and don't hold back on the mascara! My favorite mascara is Covergirl's LashBlast, which really coats your lashes without clumping or flaking. Also, this fall a heavy faux fur coat will add to this chic '60s vibe!
