Twiggy’s entrance into the world of modeling actually came by accident, and she was never quite sure what the public saw in her. The young star had aspired to be a model from a young age due to her fondness for fashion, though she wasn’t entirely comfortable in her own skin. At the age of 16, she went to a notable London hairdresser to get a pixie cut, and this hairdresser took a snapshot of her hairdo and hung up it on the wall of his salon. This snapshot ended up catching the attention of the editor of The Daily Express.
