Upon arriving in New York in 1967, Twiggy took the international modelling scene by storm. From France to Japan, she has travelled the world with several publications like Vogue, shooting in some of the globe's most beautiful climates. Following her greatly influential career, Twiggy's iconic photos were exhibited at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in 2009, titled The Model as Muse: Embodying Fashion, showcasing a-line dresses and her androgynous style.

Twiggy is cited as one of the first international supermodels. During the 60s, she was a fashion icon, inspiring new trends by simply experimenting with her style. At just the age of 16, she was described as having "a face to launch a thousand shapes", after being photographed sporting a new short hairstyle. She has appeared in all leading magazines, where she promoted her own clothing line titled Twiggy Dresses. As an after dinner speaker, audiences revel in Twiggy's life story, captivated by her unique experience of the modelling industry.

From The Boy Friend in 1971 to The Blues Brothers in 1980, she spent nearly three decades starring in several films and songs, including her own album, Please Get My Name Right.
