Plus: Six filthy things in your bathroom you’re forgetting to clean
| | The former queen of minskirts, Dame Lesley Lawson – aka Twiggy – recently revealed that at the age of 75 she has stopped wearing the iconic fashion staple popularised by Mary Quant. But why should an increase in age mean a lowering of your hemline? “The Miniskirt Police can take their judgement elsewhere,” writes Tamara Abraham in her guide to the rules for wearing a miniskirt in midlife and beyond here.
One of Twiggy’s contemporaries, Jan de Villeneuve, has returned to modelling after a seven-year hiatus. At 80 years old, she is now the new face of Marfa Stance, whose fans include Naomi Watts and Sam Taylor-Johnson. Speaking of miniskirts, de Villeneuve’s daughter Poppy chimes in during her interview with The Telegraph: “Sometimes, she would turn up to school wearing big Timberland boots and a miniskirt.” Read the full interview here.
