Quotes by Twiggy

I dont like it when people say, Youre 45, so you should be wearing X and never Y. For me, dressing is about attitude, not age.

Being young isnt about age, its about being a free spirit. You can meet someone of 20 whos boring and old, or you can meet someone of 70 whos youthful and exciting. I met Fred Astaire when he was 72 and I was 21, and I fell in love with him. He certainly was a free spirit.

What you wear for work should be comfortable and empowering. If youre working in business, your outfit should mean business. If I go to meet somebody about an acting job, or something creative, then Ill be in my jeans. For me, overdressing is my biggest fear.

Even before I was discovered in 1966, I used to make my own clothes. I learned how to sew early on, and its still my passion now. I constantly have ideas in my head about clothes so jumped at the chance to do my own collection and am very hands-on. Everything I design, I wear and I love.

Id love there to be more larger models, but its just not going to happen. Designers love to design for slim girls.

Wearing a bold print gets harder as you get older. Its safer to stick to subtle prints or block colours. I have always found prints quite tricky. My daughter Carly, who is on the design team at Stella McCartney, is obsessed with them.

I am very sad that some designers are still using real fur when the fake alternatives are so effective and so easily obtainable.

Im grateful for my lines of wisdom. Of course, there are days when I think: Oh my gawd, I look a bit tired. But I can pull it together if I have to.
