Twiggy Lawson at 16 became the first prominent teenage model. She was known for her androgynous looks, large eyes, long eyelashes, and thin build. In 1966, she was named the “The Face of 1966” by the Daily Express and voted British Woman of the Year. By 1967, Twiggy had modelled in France, Japan, and the U.S., and landed on the covers of Vogue and The Tattler. Her fame had spread worldwide. Staying with fashion, this June also sees the return of retail guru Mary Portas with the second season of MARY, QUEEN OF SHOPS.
