Twiggy's back

Jul 28 2005

By Evening Gazette

 

Twiggy was the original sixties supermodel. And she's about to prove nothing has changed.

Back then she was a skinny kid with the face of an angel - and it made her an icon.

Now in her mid-fifties, Twiggy is proving she is still a force to be reckoned with in the fashion world.

Left: Suede Skirt - £49, Suede Blazer - £70, Crinkle Satin Viscose Blouse - £28. Centre: Brown Herringbone Suit, Jacket - £59, trousers - £35. Right: Teal Layered Wrap Dress - £45.

The waif-like figure, boyish hair cut and black fringe of eye lashes may not be the image any more.

In its place is a thoroughly sophisticated lady with the confidence to launch her very first fashion collection.

She has teamed with catalogue fashion big name Great Universal to unveil a range of elegant and affordable styles under the Twiggy label.

Sizes are from 10 to 20 with many styles up to a very un-Twiggy 26.

Signatures for the collection, for the modern and mature woman, are fine knits, sheer blouses, sharp tailoring, sumptuous silk and satin pieces.

Prices range from £25 for a classic roll neck sweater with ribbed sleeves, to £90 for a black, tailored skirt or trouser suit with lace trim hemlines and ribbon tie detailing.
