A simple portrait taken by photographer Barry Lategan helped launch the modeling career of Dame Lesley Lawson, better known as Twiggy. The iconic photo marks a cultural reset in the modeling and beauty world, her short pixie cut neatly parted to the side and her wide eyes staring straight into the camera. But the star actually didn't actually intend on getting the haircut that transformed her career. At the age of 16, she went to an upscale salon in Mayfair called the House of Leonard, asking for a simple shampoo and set.
