Twiggy reading Tokyo Handy Guide.

By blending pop art with fashion, the doe-eyed, pouty-lipped gamin with the angelic puss and boyish crop took the industry by storm at age 17 defining the age of “flower power” almost singlehandedly. She forever replaced the voluptuous image of what modeldom had once been all about. She originally was nicknamed “Sticks” because of her reed-thin figure, but then switched it to “Twigs” and, finally, “Twiggy.”
