Supermodel Twiggy, 58, offers fashion advice to women over 45

Mis en ligne le 03/12/2007

The original supermodel Twiggy who is now 58, is writing a book offering fashion advice to women over 45 called Those Fabulous 40s, 50s and 60s. In the 1960s Twiggy was envied by girls around the world when she pioneered the waif look. Now, some 40 years later, she's trying to help those same baby boomer women to look fashionable.

"I'm always meeting women who are over 45 who are saying : `I don't know how to dress and I don't want to be a frump, I don't want to look like mutton dressed as lamb. Oh help me, what do I do?'", Twiggy told AAP. "I realised there's a whole group of baby boomers who need some help." While she made the waif look famous, Twiggy said the current issue of size zero models was a very series problem. "For me, it's weird because I was very skinny when I was 16, when I modelled", she said. "But I was naturally thin, and I think a lot of the young models are naturally skinny." But even so, the fashion industry has to watch it because a couple of girls died last year and when girls are dying that ain't funny. "I do think the fashion world became obsessed beyond comprehension about this size zero... and I think it has to be addressed because, in the end, the influence on young teenagers is very important." A mother herself, Twiggy said parents also have to keep an eye on their daughters and encourage them to eat healthily. Her book is due in stores in time for the northern hemisphere summer next year. After five seasons with the popular reality show "America's Next Top Model", cycle nine, which premieres on FOX8 on December 4, will be her last.
