Happy b-day Twiggy!!!

The National Portrait Gallery in London plays tribute to Twiggy, the British model who marked the arrival of the teenage revolution, encapsulating the spirit of 60s in London.

Leslie Hornby, Twiggy's real name, was considered the first top model ever, reaching international notoriety in 1966 when the Daily Express considered her The Face of 1966.

The display 'A life in photographs' opens on Saturday 19 September until 23 March 2010 and counts with iconic portraits of Twiggy in the early days of her carreer as a model.
