10. Historical Importance In my opinion, I think her historical important was fashion. She changed the world of many models and women around the world. Before Twiggy, all the models were just the same; long curly hair, normal sized body however, Twiggy made the other models see that you could pretty in another way. Even today, 40 years later, we still hear about her just as much as we did then. The world just can’t get enough of Twiggy!
