Twiggy Lawson

published on 2 October 2019

Before the term 'supermodel' entered the sartorial vernacular, Twiggy Lawson had already made an indelible mark on fashion history. As one of the first models to achieve global fame, she became the face of the 1960s with her iconic pixie cut, wide eyes, and slender frame. Her distinct look, which broke away from the curvier ideals of the 1950s, captured the spirit of the 'Swinging London' era and redefined beauty standards. Sitting down with Nick Knight, Lawson delves into the work that defined her career including shoots with Andy Warhol, Bert Stern, and more.
