Twiggy's 5 style essentials From pixie cut to mini skirts, from big sunglasses to extra volume mascara
Despite being a 60s style icon also thanks to her pixie cut, Twiggy Lawson - better known as Twiggy - revealed that she got that haircut "by accident". A few months ago, in fact, the former supermodel joined Jessie Ware during her podcast “Table Manners with Jessie Ware” to tell about her life and career. To everyone's surprise, when Jessie asked her about the iconic pixie cut, Twiggy revealed that she never wanted that cut.
It seems that the British model and actress went to Leonard Lewis's Mayfair salon just to get a shampoo. But when Leonard saw her, he asked her to try on her his new haircut and, as she explained, at the time she was too shy to refuse. And so, after seven hours of work, her long brown mane was transformed into the iconic pixie cut: a very short super blonde bob. Shortly after, Twiggy attracted the attention of a journalist, who seeing a photo of her in the salon of the famous hairstylist, offered her a first photo shoot.
Whether it's her iconic haircut, her timeless look or the use of accessories, the truth is that Twiggy has made fashion history with her unmistakable style. Starting right from the confession, nss G-Club has collected 5 essentials of her style, analyzing what are the distinctive features that have made it a fashion icon and that underline how Twiggy was not only a style icon but, first of all, a free woman who did not allow herself to be influenced by the judgment of others.
PIXIE CUT
Twiggy, weighing 40 kilos and 1.68 centimeters tall, did not fit the stereotypes of 1960s beauty. Despite this, she did not let herself be discouraged by an ideal of beauty imposed by society thus becoming, little by little, a model. Her face, with harmonious features and a very fair complexion, allowed her to create her own style at a time when models were not popular.
