Twiggy
Model and trend-setter Twiggy became the poster girl for 1960s style, especially the Mod movement, with her pixie hair and almost-cartoonish eye makeup.She was named "The Face of '66" by the Daily Express.
In the mid 60's at 16 years of age, Twiggy became internationally known as the world's first supermodel. This was the start of the change in fashion from the oder woman to the young teenagers being the trend setters.

Alongside Twiggy, Jean Shrimpton was one of the top fashion models of the Sixties. Born in Buckinghamshire in 1942, 'The Shrimp', as she was nicknamed, was a fashion frontrunner and trendsetter. In 1965, she caused a style sensation when she pitched up to the Victoria Derby race during Melbourne Cup week in a shift dress by Colin Rolfe with a thigh-high hemline (a predecessor to the miniskirt, which became a worldwide craze), shocking the then-conservative Australians. A leading covergirl and fashion face (she promoted brands like Revlon and Yardley of London), Shrimpton also hung out with the It-crowd, and was once engaged to prominent Sixties photographer, David Bailey, on whom the cult movie Blowup was based, but the pair split after four years.
The most stylish First Lady in history, Jackie Onassis' style has been copied and aspired to by women all over the world. Born into New York high society in 1929, she went on to marry US president John F. Kennedy, who she stayed with until his assassination in 1963. In 1968 she married Greek shipping tycoon Aristotle Onassis. During both marriages, which suffered with different problems - alleged infidelity (Kennedy) and business trips (Onassis) - she cheered herself up by shopping. Constantly. Throughout the Sixties, she became known for her impeccable style and grooming, and had a tendency to wear clean suits by French designers like Chanel, Givenchy and Christian Dior.
