A special late present from Festival do Rio to film fans and fans of fashion and the 1960s, with the world premiere on 15 October of Sadie Frost’s documentary “Twiggy”. An icon that needs no introduction.

Directed by Sadie Frost, the documentary focuses on the life of the greatest 'IT' girl of all time, Dame Twiggy Lawson. It is the first time Twiggy has told her story first-hand. Discovered at 16 and proclaimed as "the face of '66" by Daily Express journalist Deirdre McSharry, the model became an overnight sensation. 

The world saw her grace the covers of Vogue and Tatler by 17 and the New Yorker magazine devoted nearly 100 pages to the Twiggy "phenomenon" after her arrival in New York. Twiggy shook the world by giving women a whole new look and feel to aspire to. Twiggy brought an elfin androgyny to the forefront and helped revolutionise the accepted image of the female form, giving a voice to a whole new generation of women.
