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.

More quotes by Twiggy
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.
Twiggy
I am very sad that some designers are still using real fur when the fake alternatives are so effective and so easily obtainable.
Twiggy
Fashion should be stylish and fun.
Twiggy
I love flat shoes, more so than heels. One of my obsessions is men's co-respondent lace-ups.
Twiggy
[On her thinness:] It's not what you'd call a figure, is it?
Twiggy
The sixties were a time when ordinary people could do extraordinary things . . . !

The 40s onwards are when we can really begin to enjoy ourselves. For many women, this is when everything comes together, and they look better than ever. The great thing about getting older is you don't have to do/wear/say anything you don't want to. It wasn't until my very late 30s that I stopped worrying about what other people thought.
Twiggy
Back in the '60s, there was a car sticker that read, 'Forget Oxfam, Feed Twiggy,' but I ate like a horse.
Twiggy
You can't be a clothes hanger for your entire life.
Twiggy
I don't understand people getting depressed about getting older. There is nothing you can do about it, so you might as well embrace it.
Twiggy
There's no need to dress like everyone else. It's much more fun to create your own look.
Twiggy
Christianity, like most religions, works with fear. Sins can be confessed and you are 'Clean again' and can start to sin again without thinking about your old sins. We believe that people should ask themselves why they sinned. They should show some responsibility.
Twiggy
You won't often find me in a pair of killer heels: my heel height doesn't rise above two and a half inches, as I would just fall over!
Twiggy
Ageing doesn't mean giving up on style and individuality it doesn't mean abandoning fashion and living in comfy slippers and flannel knickers.
Twiggy
I have an iPod, but I do still love CDs. There's something nice and tangible about a CD. I'm a mixture of old and new - I love my sewing machine, but I've also embraced new technology. The iPad is what did it for me - it's extraordinary.
Twiggy
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!
Twiggy
Can you imagine wot it was like. All the girls gettin' luvly figgers and me stayin' flat as a pancake? It was no fun, I tell you.
Twiggy
We want to raise the children the parents aren't raising. I think we want to press individuality on people, though that doesn't necessarily mean being like us. But, it doesn't mean that if you come dressed like us that you aren't being yourself.
Twiggy
Sometimes I can't believe I'm going to be 60. I always say there's no point moaning about getting older, when there's nothing you can do about it. But still, I do find it quite funny. I look at that number, 60, and I think, really? Me?
Twiggy
I eat healthily because that's the way I prefer to eat, and I'm sure it helps keep the weight off.
