This stylish black and white portrait shot by Brian Aris captures fashion model, Twiggy, originally known for her thin build and the androgynous appearance considered to result from her big eyes, long eyelashes, and short hair. Twiggy is best remembered as one of the first international supermodels and a fashion icon of the 1960s, her greatest influence being Jean Shrimpton. A few weeks after having her first photographs published, Twiggy was declared 'The Face of '66.' She showed the world that models no longer were just a pretty face but also shrewd businesswomen with enterprises of their own.
Brian Aris began his photographic career as a photojournalist, working for a London agency. A series of frontline assignments took him around the world covering various humanitarian crises from Northern Ireland and Lebanon to Palestine, Africa and Vietnam. He then decided on a complete change of direction and opened a studio in London where he started photographing fashion and glamour models for newspapers and magazines. Next he turned away from the model world to concentrate on the music industry that was exploding in Britain and gradually broadened his studio work to include pop and rock stars.
Brian Aris has covered every aspect of the music scene from punk rock, glam’ rock and straight rock ‘n’ roll to the emergence of the boy bands and then the girl power. His photography has been on show at The National Portrait Gallery in London, the prestigious Recontres D’Arles exhibition in France, and at the Royal Circle of Art in Barcelona. His archive represents one of the largest individual collections in the United Kingdom.
