Synopsis

Twiggy was the world's first supermodel. As 'The Face of 1966', Twiggy (born Lesley Hornby) was the embodiment of the 60s look and was photographed by leading figures Richard Avedon, Cecil Beaton, Melvin Sokolsky, Helmut Newton, Bert Stern, Klaus Voorman, Douglas Kirkland and Norman Parkinson. Combining these iconic images with more recent portraits by Steven Meisel, Bryan Adams, Mary McCartney and Solve Sundsbo, this book explores and celebrates Twiggy's life in front of the camera. In her own words, Twiggy describes the distinguished photographers she has collaborated with and gives rare insights into the creative process. From the famous haircut by Leonard to her unique make-up and style-setting clothes, Twiggy reflects on these images and how it feels to be photographed, both then and now. With over 100 illustrations, including works from the National Portrait Gallery, London and many private collections, the book also features Twiggy's personal collections, the book also features Twiggy's personal collection of photographs, snapshots and memorabilia. In addition, an illustrated chronology traces highlights in her career, including her starring role in Ken Russell's film The Boyfriend (1971), for which she was awarded two Golden Globes, and her Tony-award-nominated appearance in the Broadway musical My One and Only (1983-4).

From the Back Cover

Een biografie in fotos van een van de bekendste en meest gerespecteerde modellen ooit

Dit boek verschijnt ter gelegenheid van Twiggys zestigste verjaardag. Het is een biografie in fotos van een van de bekendste en meest gerespecteerde modellen ooit. Twiggy is gefotografeerd voor alle toonaangevende tijdschriften en werkte samen met veel vooraanstaande fotografen. Dit boek bevat een verzameling iconografische portretten van het supermodel.

Twiggy beschrijft in haar eigen woorden hoe het is om te werken met fotografen als Cecil Beaton, Richard Avedon, Melvin Sokolsky, Ronald Traeger, Bert Stern en Norman Parkinson. Ze geeft bijzondere inzichten in het creatieve proces achter de fotos. Van haar beroemde kapsel van de hand van Leonard tot haar unieke make-up en kledingstijl; Twiggy kijkt terug op deze beelden en vertelt hoe het voelt om gefotografeerd te worden, toen en nu.

Twiggy: Ik heb de eer gehad met vele topfotografen te werken. Ik verheug me erop al deze portretten verzameld te zien in mijn nieuwe boek. Het is zo interessant om te zien hoe modefotografie en portretfotografie zich hebben ontwikkeld in de loop van mijn carrière. Ik hoop dat dit boek mensen de kans geeft die fotos te zien die bepalend zijn geweest voor mijn carrière.

Het boek bevat meer dan 100 illustraties uit de collectie van 'National Portrait Gallery' en talloze privé-collecties. Daarnaast is Twiggys persoonlijke verzameling fotos, snapshots en memorabilia erin opgenomen. Tot slot bevat deze uitgave een geïllustreerd chronologisch overzicht van de hoogtepunten uit haar carrière.
