Iconic Model of the Week: Twiggy

Welcome back to the TS Studios photography blogs From the runway to the big screen.  Twiggy, the Swinging ’60s supermodel, is the muse behind Sadie Frost’s next feature documentary, “Twiggy.” Production on the film has started with Studio Soho, part of the Film Soho group. TS Studios is a fashion photography studio based in London, Manchester and Birmingham. They work with all different types of models of all ages and experience levels.

The film is set to be released theatrically in the U.K. and Ireland in 2023 with Terry Newman, author of “Harry Styles: and the Clothes He Wear,” and “Legendary Authors and the Clothes They Wore,” on board as writer, researcher and interviewee, along with Erin O’Connor, Paul McCartney, Lulu, Poppy Delevingne, Brooke Shields, Pattie Boyd and Zandra Rhodes.

Filming will take place in London and New York with the supermodel synonymous with big eyes, long eyelashes and short hair recreating key moments from her life in Film Soho’s virtual production stage, V-Studios. Exciting news indeed, celebrating an icon in modelling.

At the age of 16, Twiggy was featured in the British newspaper Daily Express with her signature hair. The image was caption: “The Cockney kid with a face to launch a thousand shapes…and she’s only 16.” In 1970, four years into her modeling career, she retired to pursue acting and famously said “You can’t be a clothes hanger for your entire life.” We all loved Twiggy and celebrate her life.

Today, at 73 years old, Twiggy is still working. She appeared in Charlotte Tilbury’s Studio 54-inspired campaign in October with Kate Moss, Jourdan Dunn and Lily James. Follow the TS Studios blog for our latest photos and read TS Studios reviews here. Leave your comments below.
