Twiggy is 60

I missed her book-signing in the National Portrait Gallery on Friday, so popped down there on Saturday morning to see the new exhibition of photos spanning forty years to celebrate Twiggy turning 60. Some lovely images from the famous first shot taken of her new crop haircut for the House of Leonard in the sixties, through to a recent portrait by Bryan Adams – yes that Bryan Adams. Worth a look, it’s just at the top of the stairs on the first floor and free.
