Twiggy, (real name Lesley Hornby) English model, seen in a Hippie gear outfit
Twiggy, (real name Lesley Hornby) English model, seen in a Hippie gear outfit. Pictured before she left for the New York, America, USA later the same day.
Twiggy said of her Hippie outfit, " I Love it ! I have a Hippie hat, its straw with poppies on the side. But I couldn t wear it today because it doesn t go with this outfit. That shows I m not a real Hippie doesn t it ? If I was, I d wear it anyway wouldn t I ? " she goes on to say " I think the clothes can be adapted to everyday wear, we re certainly planning some for the next Twiggy range"

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the iconic Twiggy, also known as Lesley Hornby, an English model who rose to fame in the 1960s. Dressed in a vibrant Hippie gear outfit, she exudes youthful energy and fashion-forward style. This snapshot was taken on August 21st, 1967, just before Twiggy embarked on her journey to New York City. Twiggy's enthusiasm for her attire shines through as she explains her love for the Hippie outfit. She mentions a straw hat adorned with poppies that perfectly complements this ensemble but regrets not being able to wear it due to its mismatch with the current outfit. In jest, she muses about how this minor detail reveals that she may not be a "real". Hippie after all. Not only does Twiggy showcase her impeccable sense of fashion in this photograph, but she also hints at future plans within the industry. She believes that these unique clothes can easily transition into everyday wear and expresses excitement about incorporating them into her upcoming Twiggy range. Kent Gavin skillfully captured this momentous image from Memory Lane Prints—a testament to his talent as a photographer and his ability to immortalize cultural icons like Twiggy during their prime years.
