Twiggy

  

I’m not as skinny as I used to be, thank God. I`d look very strange if I was. I`m slim. I eat healthily because that`s the way I prefer to eat and I`m sure it helps keep the weight off.

(Twiggy)

What is the name of one of the first supermodels, or better, Top Model, in the '60s?
Lesley Hornby, of course!
Maybe, you know it better as Twiggy.
What is special about a girl daughter of proletarians, who was born in a small town in London?

 Perhaps, the "simple" fact that she became the first model in the history of fashion to become a public figure.
Now I'm gonna tell you all the story ...

In addition to the work of modeling, Twiggy was also an actress and a singer!

 The strength that made her famous was her looks. Her name, Twiggy, literally means "stick" and this was due to her physical minute and slender like a twig.

At the beginning of the career she had long hair but the manager made ​​them cut ... 

A first step towards success.

The real coup, however, she got it thanks to the fashion designer Mary Quant in '66, who put on her the first mini-skirt.

Thanks to Twiggy, this new piece of clothing was cleared and it became an indelible mark in fashion history. 

In fact, Twiggy is considered an icon of Swinging London.  

So, with short hair that distinguished her from other models, the physical androgyny and long eyelashes drawn with so much skill, in just over 24 hours Twiggy became a global phenomenon that conquered the magazines that haunted the world of fashion. 

She must be remembered that the enormous success of her is also due to a series of lucky encounters, first of all, Barry Lategan, South African photographer who worked for Vogue and Elle who became famous in the early 60s for having imposed in the world of fashion lean and lithe girls.

Audrey Hepburn

"Elegance is the only beauty that never fades".

"You can always tell what kind of a person a man really thinks you are by the earrings he gives you".

"For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone".
(Audrey Hepburn)

Edda Kathleen van Heemstra Hepburn-Rusto, is the name of a girl born in 1929, with a passion for acting and dance, better known as Audrey Hepburn.
Today we're going to talk of the eternal 50s Diva, a modern beauty and sour, a little melancholy doe-eyed girl.
The words to describe the elegance and style that sets it apart is not easy to find, but I'll try.
Audrey was the bearing, the freshness, spontaneity, charisma.
Proclaimed in 1999 the third biggest actress of all time by the American Film Institute and earned its star on Hollywood a Walk of Fame (at 1652 Vine Street), this young beauty has created a style imitated by topical and fashion lovers and inspiration for designers.
With her, the ideal of beauty was partly re-invented.
In a world where sensuality was incarnated in bodies, buttery and full of curves like Marilyn Monroe, Audrey was imposed on the scene, sporting a new style, characterized by thinness, sophisticated and full of grace.
A new fashion icon was born.
Elegance, class, luxury, all in one word: simplicity.
In a femininity where "less is more," you may well see in "Breakfast at Tiffany's", Audrey was much more than an actress.
Today,she lies the small cemetery of Morges in the canton of Vaud in Switzerland where she had a house since the '60s.

This is a glamour video I found for you to see the fresh and soft make up of Audrey...





That's all darlin'!
Hope you enjoy this jump in Audrey style...
