In the 4 years modeling career, Twiggy has achieved what some of today's models achieve in a few years. She had a huge impact on today's girls, but also the entire fashion industry. Twiggy got her nickname because she looked like a twig, she was 170 cm and only 41 kg, which were condemned by many people, but everyone admire her beautiful face.
She was the symbol of purity and innocence and Twiggy has refused to wear clothes that was vulgar and obscene, but she was faithful to her "little girl" style where the combined dresses and geometric patterns decorated hippie bruises, zipper, tape ... Her trademark was short skirts, and she adored big sunglasses. Twiggy is known for her make up, that was very special, and today it is often seen on Halloween.
After the age of 19 she dropped from her modeling career and dedicated to music and acting. Although she received many offers for film roles, Twiggy opted for life in the theater.

But in the 80-ies Debbie accepted all the trends of the decade from colored tights and jeans, whose waistline stretched almost to the navel, and headband. Girls who adore Debbie blindly followed this trend. As for makeup, Debbie mostly wore a dark, dramatic make-up which was perfectly emphasized her tongue.
