Twiggy started modelling as the original waif in 1966 at the age of 17. She was known for her slim "boy-like" body and long eyelashes made even longer with strips of spidery falsies and tiny lines called "Twiggies" drawn on with liner. Twiggy's unique hairstyle of cropped blonde locks quickly put the teased (back-combed) hairdo out of style. At the height of her popularity she received fanmail simply addressed: "Twiggy, London, England".
