    Best of British – Twiggy

    Twiggy (1966) – Photographed by Barry Lategan

    Twiggy was born in London in September 1949. She is best remembered as one of the first international supermodels and a fashion icon on the 1960s. She was named “The Face of ‘66” by The Daily Express when she was just 16 years old. Her photographic modelling success epitomised the sixties. Her success could said to have been launched by a famous haircut by Leonard and photographs taken by Barry Lategan in 1966. She still remains recognised by her name and face today, almost sixty years since.

    She went on to become a successful actress and started her career by starring in Ken Russell’s film “The Boyfriend” for which she won two Golden Globe awards. She also recorded albums that encompassed a variety of music styles. Her most successful recordings have earned her two silver discs.

    A collection of images of Twiggy has been released by The National Portrait Gallery simply titled “Twiggy – A Life in Photographs”.  You can read about the book and the show which it accompanied here.

    • At London Art Portfolio you are encouraged to seek inspiration everywhere, whatever stirs your passion, and afterwards introduced to an imaginative range of materials and techniques to visualise your ideas. The process was great fun and everyone on the course was really friendly and bounced off on each other’s skills and ideas. It was a pleasure to be there!

    • Thanks to this course, I began to understand the value of practising and honing your craft. It is important to know how to build a project from the ground up, with time and perseverance, but it is also important to back up your ideas with practiced skill.

    • I’m currently an undergraduate student studying Architecture. After failing my first year I began to attend one-to-one tutorials at London Art Portfolio. After attending tutorials for a year I ended happily with a first and now moving onto second year!

    • London Art Portfolio helped me find my creative self again, it helped me learn how to develop my own projects and how to present them properly. Fantastic team, great tutorials, vibrant and inspiring atmosphere. I will be eternally thankful to London Art Portfolio, especially to Julia…

    • At first I was uncertain of my own abilities and I lacked confidence. That is why I decided to seek the expertise of Julia at London Art Portfolio. She made me feel comfortable from the very beginning and starting from our first one-to-one tutorial I began to develop my drawing skills. She made sure that throughout our time together we explored different mediums, techniques and approaches.

    • ..London Art Portfolio, and Julia in particular, gave me creative guidance and help throughout the course to make sure I achieved and produced work, not only I, myself was pleased with, but work that would get me accepted to the schools I applied to…
