Twiggy also shared some insights about the beginning of her career: “I had to get permission from him to leave school. He was amazing, because he said, ‘Listen, this might only last for three months, but if I don’t give you permission to leave, you might end up resenting me, even hating me’. It was quite wise, actually. He was always my main man.”
The self-titled film about Twiggy is a first in which she narrates her life story and includes interviews with Joanna Lumley, Paul McCartney, and Stella McCartney.
