Twiggy on the weight of being an icon

iHeartPodcasts
About this episode

Model, muse, and fashion icon Twiggy joins the podcast! Brooke and Twiggy chat about their cringe-worthy ‘80s TV movie, their famous teenage years, and why the fashion industry’s claim that it’s now “body positive” feels like a big sham. Twiggy gets candid about her years as a single mom after her first husband’s death and shares how a dream job helped her cope during difficult times.
