Twiggy rose to fame in the 1960s with a unique look that set her apart from the more curvaceous models of the time. At age 16, while working in a hair salon, she met Nigel Davies, who transformed her appearance by cutting her blond hair into a short, boyish bob, and lined her eyes with false eyelashes. The resulting androgynous look was perfect for the rising hemlines and unisex styles of the time. A fashion journalist spotted her photo, leading to an article that named her “the face of ’66” and brought her international modeling offers.
