Talk: Meet model, musician and fashion icon Twiggy

She was born Lesley Hornby in a working-class home in London, but when she changed her name to Twiggy as a teenager, she became the world’s first international supermodel almost overnight. Twiggy was the iconic face of 1960s Swingin’ London – a period when fashion and music changed the world forever. With her androgynous look and giant eyes, she might as well have landed from another planet, and that was also about the effect she had on the media. A traditional film could have come out of it, but with the main character herself as a completely irresistible guide to her own life story as both Lesley and Twiggy, director Sadie Frost has created a film that radiates with British humor, exuberance and joie de vivre – just like Lesley herself. You can experience all that live when Twiggy and Sadie Frost visit CPH:DOX with the film this after.
