Twiggy Becomes an International Supermodel

Legendary fashion designer Mary Quant, whose locks became iconic, and Lesley Hornby, famously known as Twiggy, became a powerful tag team back in the ’60s. The model was just a teen when she became the expert’s muse, who popularized and normalized mini-skirts abroad.

Twiggy was also reportedly the first to be called an international supermodel after breaking conventional beauty and femininity standards. Many rebellious women hoping to shatter traditions looked up to her. With a short hairdo and slender frame, she stood out from the crowd of stars that were aligned with the conventions.
