NO-ONE who actually remembers Twiggy as the original Sixties' model could imagine that she was worldly enough to orchestrate her own soaring career.

Yet, she is currently denying that her manager and then-boyfriend Justin de Villeneuve did, saying "He did not make me".

If he didn't, who did? Certainly, not the doe-eyed Willesden schoolgirl Leslie Hornby. The older, sharper Justin was plainly her Svengali, and she did very well by him.

Sorry, Twigs, you can reinvent yourself all you want as a fashion icon in 2006 but you can't change the past.
