For me, getting older doesn't mean throwing away a favourite-coloured lipstick or a fabulous pair of boots; instead, it's about harnessing all the great things I have learnt over the years about what does and doesn't suit me, and enjoying the way in which cleverly selected outfits can enhance the nice bits. Twiggy

If I want to calm down, I'll buy some fabric, get a pattern, shut myself in a room and stay there for days, really happy. And at the end of it, you get a bedspread or some curtains or something to wear - it's lovely. Twiggy

Sometimes I can't believe I'm going to be 60. I always say there's no point moaning about getting older, when there's nothing you can do about it. But still, I do find it quite funny. I look at that number, 60, and I think, 'Really? Me?' Twiggy

Funny Me You Getting Older Sometimes Nothing Older Believe Think Say Find About No Point Point Look Always Still Moaning Getting Going Quite Really Number

Sleep is one of the great pleasures of life. Designing my bed linen line seemed like a natural progression for me. Everyone loves getting into a bed made up with beautiful linen. I love sewing, I love fabrics, and I love sleeping. Twiggy

Being young isn't about age, it's about being a free spirit. You can meet someone of 20 who's boring and old, or you can meet someone of 70 who's 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. Twiggy

I think everyone should sing - it's so good for you, as it makes you breathe deeply, and it's good for you emotionally, too. It's a brilliant release way of lifting the spirits. Twiggy

Good You Brilliant Think Too Everyone Way Release Spirits Lifting Emotionally Sing Makes Breathe Should Deeply

If you've got the body and the chutzpah, a pencil skirt is so sexy on older women. Look for ones that fall just below the knee. Think 1940s, cinched-in jackets - imagine you are Lauren Bacall on a date with Humphrey Bogart and you just absolutely have to wear very high heels. Twiggy

You Women Fall Older Think Pencil High High Heels Lauren Wear Sexy Date Absolutely Knee Look Got Very Jackets Just Heels Body Bogart Skirt Older Women Below Imagine

The way I looked when I started modelling - I was a skinny schoolgirl, stuffing tissues into my little 32A bra. I wasn't trying to be that thin; I was perfectly healthy, but still - that look is a total impossibility for women over the age of 20. Fashion has a lot to answer for, doesn't it? Twiggy

Fashion Age Women Healthy Way Total Perfectly Over Stuffing Look Looked Schoolgirl Answer Still Bra Impossibility Lot Modelling Trying Little Skinny Thin Started

I don't like talking about which bits I like or don't like about my body. Everybody has something they're not happy with, and my only advice would be, 'Do something about it - exercise or eat less, but don't do nothing!' Find ways to enhance the good bits and camouflage the bad bits. Twiggy

Fluted sleeves or any sleeve that flares out before coming in again at the wrist are very feminine and a great way to distract from the dreaded 'bingo wings.' Twiggy

Even before I was discovered in 1966, I used to make my own clothes. I learned how to sew early on, and it's 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. Twiggy

They go on about banning size zero, but I think Hollywood stars are the worst perpetrators. Most models are naturally long and gangly, while a lot of these young girls in Hollywood have gone on extreme diets. Their concave chests and bony arms are terrifying. It's scary to think that normal teenagers are tempted to copy them. Twiggy

Girl Long Young Gone Stars Think Teenagers Extreme Worst About Scary Tempted Most Arms Terrifying Go Chest Normal Lot Models Diets Size Banning Young Girls While Them Hollywood Naturally Gangly Zero Copy

I can't live without my cup of tea. When I was a judge on 'America's Next Top Model,' they had to put me in a hotel where I had my own kitchen, because they can't make tea in America. I was happy then because I could make my own. Twiggy

Being a grown-up woman doesn't mean you can't look beautiful, individual and different. Twiggy

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

Work Me You Business Creative Fear Job Somebody Meet Wear Outfit About Something Empowering Comfortable Go Biggest Mean Then Should Working Acting Your Jeans

I think I had a fur coat that someone bought me from Portobello Market back in the 1960s, but I think as soon as you think about it, what it is you're wearing, make that connection, then you realise it's just not right. I don't lecture people about it, but it's not something I'd ever wear. Twiggy

Me You People Think Back Market Fur Wear Wearing About Someone Something Had Bought Soon Make Lecture Just Realise Then Coat Connection Ever Right
