? Known for the high fashion mod look created by Mary Quant
? Twiggy changed the world of fashion with her short-haired, androgynous look
? Embodiment of Youth-quake generation ? Face of the decade ? Wide-eyed elfin features and slight builds--
hence her nickname ? Her style has dominated the runways for forty
years ? She was also famous for drawing long, fake
eyelashes under her bottom lashes. These are, unsurprisingly, named "Twiggys." ? Twiggy was regarded as one of the faces of 1960s Swinging London

? New fabrics were comfortable to the touch, wrinkle free, and care free
? Perfect match for simple miniskirts and short tunic dresses of the era
? Vinyl (also called PVC) was a shiny, wet- look plastic, easy to color and print with flamboyant designs. Was used at first for outerwear then for everything including bags, belts, tunics, and miniskirts
