There's no need to dress like everyone else. It's much more fun to create your own look.
Twiggy
Image
I am very sad that some designers are still using real fur when the fake alternatives are so effective and so easily obtainable.

I've had albums out since the 1970s. I was in a musical, 'The Boy Friend,' directed by Ken Russell, and I was on Broadway in 'My One And Only' with Tommy Tune, so I've always been a singer, but I suppose people think of my modelling more.

Tailored jackets with jeans is a great look for all ages. Dress up with a heel and pretty shirt, or just wear a smart T-shirt under the jacket.

I didn't really know about Marilyn Manson - it's not my sort of music, not exactly the sort of thing I would curl up and listen to!

Fluted sleeves or any sleeve that flares out before coming in again at the wrist are very feminine and a great way to distract from the dreaded 'bingo wings.'

Always be natural. Putting on airs will make a giggle out of you. Be yourself and if you don't know something say so.

You can't be a clothes hanger for your entire life.

What happened to me in the Sixties was so major and so worldwide and so huge, there's no way I can repeat it. But in a way, I had nothing to do with it, it just took me over. It was bizarre, it was weird, and I had no control over it. I don't think anyone could have planned what happened to me.

Wearing a bold print gets harder as you get older. Its safer to stick to subtle prints or block colours. I have always found prints quite tricky. My daughter Carly, who is on the design team at Stella McCartney, is obsessed with them.

For special occasions, I love pretty dresses - but nothing too frou-frou!

Image
I want to continue to try and break the barrier between male and female.

At sixteen, I was a funny, skinny little thing, all eyelashes and legs. And then, suddenly people told me it was gorgeous. I thought they had gone mad.

The sixties were a time when ordinary people could do extraordinary things . . . !
Twiggy
Image
I used to do my own make-up. I used to have this doll that had those big eyelashes on the top and bottom, and I think I copied her when I was doing my eyes, putting false eyelashes on the bottom as well as the top. So I came up with that look myself.

I've always loved life, and I've never known what's ahead. I love not knowing what might be round the corner. I love serendipity.

Belts distract the eye from a bloated tummy, a heavy-set upper body and all manner of sins. They can be a superb way to update your wardrobe without breaking the bank, and there's no reason to stop wearing them, ever!

Image
I like to get on with people. I don't go around being nasty, but if someone crosses me, I can be horrible back.
Twiggy
Image
It is no longer acceptable to ignore the suffering, and designers must take responsibility for the way that their fur is produced.

Being a grown-up woman doesn't mean you can't look beautiful, individual and different.
