Twiggy has been a style icon since the ‘60s – and it’s certainly no different now that she’s in HER 60s. The supermodel is now the face of M&S and even has her own collection with the store.
Speaking to Woman & Home magazine in the March issue, she says that she doesn’t think women should have to stick to certain rules just because of their age.
“I don't like it when people say ‘you're 45, so you should be wearing X and never Y’. For me, dressing is about attitude, not age,” she says.
She also says that she thinks you can look great, no matter what size you are – so long as you know the style that suits you. “We all have bits that we don't like but you don't have to be a size 10 to look wonderful,” she tells Woman & Home. “The trick is to find the style that is right for you. When it comes to trying new clothes my advice is not to take it too seriously - it's all about having fun.”
“Be adventurous and experiment – don't be afraid to try something new. But if you do feel nervous, start with one on-trend item and build your outfit around it,” she advises. “Buy a colourful accessory – bright shoes will give you an instant confidence boost.”
It seems to be the “done thing” for celebrities to come out with clothing lines, but Twiggy reveals that she has more experience than most – thanks to her pre-modelling days when she was younger. “Even before I was discovered in 1966, I used to make my own clothes,” she says. “I learned how to sew early on and it's still my passion now. I constantly have ideas in my head about clothes so jumped at the chance to do my own collection and am very hands-on. Everything I design I wear and I love.”
