Style Icon

Hey Fashionistas and Fashionistos,

Have you ever heard of Twiggy? I discovered Twiggy when she became a judge on America's Next Top Model. She's one of the biggest style icons of the fashion world. Twiggy is a London fashion supermodel from the 1960s. Her mod look took the fashion world by storm. She was on numerous fashion magazines, such as Vogue, Seventeen, and Elle. She even had her own Barbie doll. As her career continued she had other merchandise and also started her own clothing line. Her look was so popular that fans wanted to copy her style. Her look is still iconic til this day.

XOXO,

Phyllis ♥
