Who introduced the fashion for thin models

Twiggy (real name Leslie Hornby) is an English supermodel of the 60s, as well as an actress and singer who made a real revolution in the fashion world. Her name, or rather, the pseudonym Twiggy comes from the English word "twig" - a reed, and literally means "fragile", "thin".

Her height was 169 cm, and her weight was 40 kg. The appearance of Twiggy in the world of fashion and beauty once and for all turned the idea of fashion designers and just fans of the fashion industry about what a model should be. It was thanks to her that the model parameters went from rounded female forms to teenage girlish thinness. Twiggy's influence on the development of fashion is difficult to overestimate.
