The America’s Next Top Model show judge has also worked on a clothing line for Marks & Spencer and starred in several billboards for the brand.
In 2011, she released the album Romantically Yours, which included covers of songs such as ‘Blue Moon’, ‘They Can’t Take That Away from Me’ and ‘Right Here Waiting’. Her only daughter Carly Lawson (born 1978) appeared as a guest vocalist on some of the tracks.
Still at the forefront of fashion, the stunning woman has been an ambassador for L’Oreal and collaborates with other brands as a designer.
The icon currently hosts her own podcast, Tea with Twiggy, where she has intimate conversations with her celebrity friends every week.
Despite all her achievements, Twiggy, one of the most recognisable faces of her generation, says her success can only be measured by the bond she shares with her incredible daughter.
After her father, actor Michael Whitney, died at 52 while celebrating her fifth birthday, Carly was raised by her mum and second husband, Lee Lawson, whom Twiggy married in 1988.
‘My priority is family. It’s always been that way, even when Carly was a baby. If it wasn’t working for Carly, I didn’t do it,’ says Twiggy, who is also a grandmother. ‘We went everywhere together, that’s why we’re so close now. The other day she said: ‘I can’t remember a time when you weren’t around, Mum,’ and that’s because I’ve always been there for her. Even when I was travelling, she came with me.’
