Twiggy

“My elder sister used to get the fashion magazines, and I would go through them and find things I liked and buy fabric and copy them. But I hated what I looked like. I mean, I was sooo skinny.”

“Even before I was discovered in 1966, I used to make my own clothes. 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.”

“I eat healthily because that's the way I prefer to eat, and I'm sure it helps keep the weight off.”

“What you wear for work should be comfortable and empowering. If you're working in business, your outfit should mean business. If I go to meet somebody about an acting job, or something creative, then I'll be in my jeans. For me, overdressing is my biggest fear.”

“Even if your bosoms are your best asset, deep round-neck or scoop-neck Ts can be too revealing. Offset this flash of gorgeousness by covering up your arms with a little cardi that has sleeves to the elbow.”

“If you've got the body and the chutzpah, a pencil skirt is so sexy on older women. Look for ones that fall just below the knee. Think 1940s, cinched-in jackets - imagine you are Lauren Bacall on a date with Humphrey Bogart and you just absolutely have to wear very high heels.”

“I don't like talking about which bits I like or don't like about my body. Everybody has something they're not happy with, and my only advice would be, 'Do something about it - exercise or eat less, but don't do nothing!' Find ways to enhance the good bits and camouflage the bad bits.”

“My relationship with M&S continues to be an exciting journey, from modelling to designing my online range.”

“Tailored jackets with jeans is a great look for all ages. Dress up with a heel and pretty shirt, or just wear a smart T-shirt under the jacket.”

“Sometimes I can't believe I'm going to be 60. I always say there's no point moaning about getting older, when there's nothing you can do about it. But still, I do find it quite funny. I look at that number, 60, and I think, 'Really? Me?'”

“Yes, black is slimming, but it's not always youthful. The right tone of red, however, is flattering on all women.”

“טוויגי הפכה למתבגרת המפורסמת ביותר באנגליה, ועם המראה האנדרוגיני שלה היא השפיעה מאוד על האופנה בסיקסטיז.”

“אני חושבת שכל אחד צריך לשיר - זה כל כך טוב, כי זה גורם לך לנשום עמוק, וזה טוב לך גם רגשית. זו דרך שחרור מבריקה להרים את הרוח.”

“בוטוקס ומילויי קמטים למיניהם זה לא בשבילי.”

“אין צורך להתלבש כמו כולם. הרבה יותר כיף ליצור מראה משלך.”

“אנשים מאוד אוהבים את הסיקסטיז, ובמובן מסוים ייצגתי עבורם מראה של תקופה שהם כל כך אוהבים להיזכר בה.”

“היו בתקופתי עוד דוגמניות רזות, אבל הן היו מאוד גבוהות. זה מצחיק, כי אחריי הדוגמנית האייקונית הבאה היא קייט מוס והיא בערך בגובה שלי. זה קצת אירוני, לא?”

“Sleep is one of the great pleasures of life. Designing my bed linen line seemed like a natural progression for me. Everyone loves getting into a bed made up with beautiful linen. I love sewing, I love fabrics, and I love sleeping.”

“Ageing doesn't mean giving up on style and individuality; it doesn't mean abandoning fashion and living in comfy slippers and flannel knickers.”

“Jamie Oliver's books are the best. I love Jamie. Bless him!”
