I was a very, very shy, insecure teenager.

From 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.

From Twiggy

I was always telling girls who said that they wanted to be the 'next' Kate Moss or the 'next' Gisele that it wasn't possible, because the 'next' girl wasn't going to look like anybody else; she would be somebody unique. If you look at all the great models... they all have an individual look.

From Twiggy

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

From Twiggy

I don't like it when people say, 'You're 45, so you should be wearing X and never Y.' For me, dressing is about attitude, not age.

From Twiggy

The trick is to find the style that is right for you. When it comes to trying new clothes, my advice is not to take it too seriously - it's all about having fun.

From Twiggy

We all have bits that we don't like, but you don't have to be a size 10 to look wonderful.

From Twiggy

For special occasions, I love pretty dresses - but nothing too frou-frou!

From Twiggy

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

From Twiggy

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.
