EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the iconic British model, Lesley Hornby, better known as Twiggy, browsing through the Chelsea Antique Market in 1966. Dressed in a chic raccoon coat she had recently purchased from Portobello Road, Twiggy embodies the essence of 1960s fashion and the swinging London scene. The vintage market, a popular destination for the city's trendsetters, provided an abundance of unique and timeless pieces that perfectly suited Twiggy's distinctive style. The year 1966 marked a pivotal moment in Twiggy's career, as she graced the covers of numerous fashion magazines and became an international sensation. Her androgynous look, with her boyish figure and large eyes, challenged traditional beauty standards and paved the way for a new era in fashion. This photograph serves as a snapshot of a bygone era, offering a glimpse into the rich history of London's vibrant antique market culture and the fashion trends that defined the 1960s. Twiggy's effortless style and charisma continue to inspire generations, making this image a cherished piece of fashion history.
