Twiggy
Mod era icon
Twiggy is the stage name of Lesley Lawson, the British model who became an icon of 1960s fashion.
Her extremely thin frame and androgynous look defined an era's beauty standards.
The name now evokes that waif-like aesthetic: She had a Twiggy vibe going. (Lowercase twiggy means thin like a twig.)
