The Twiggy London collection wishes to tap into a revivalist vibre for the mythical Swinging Sixties.
Twiggy can be said to be one of the earliest accepted representations of non-conventional, non-classical beauty in the age of media standardization. She was too tall, too skinny; her eyes were too wide; she had freckles; she looked surly and yet she had style. Even better than that she was a walking lesson for teaching you how to be unique.
Before the Calvin Klein generation of the 90s she cultivated an androgynous look that continues to inspire contemporary women from show-business like actress Tilda Swinton.
"Once the defining look of the ‘60s, supermodel and fashion icon Twiggy now gives you stylish apparel and accessories that transcend generations. Her fun and funky fashions reflect Twiggy’s free-spirited and eclectic approach to life. This HSN-exclusive collection features loads of color and embellishments and exudes cool London chic."
A 50 ml edp is priced at $49.
