Yesterday, I chatted with the gracious supermodel and got a sneak peek at her collection at the Bryant Park Hotel.
Twiggy said she was inspired to make an accessible collection by her longtime friend Barbara Hulanicki, who opened the popular London department store, Biba, in the '60s. Instead of haute couture, Hulanicki focused on affordable designs inspired by London street fashion.
Similarly, everything in Twiggy's HSN collection is under $100.
"Fashion is for everyone," says Twiggy. "We should all be able to wear great clothes."
Young Americans, however, may be more familiar with Twiggy from her five cycles as a cheery judge on "America's Next Top Model."

No matter what role she's playing -- model, wife, Mom (her daughter Carly Lawson is a designer for Stella McCartney and crafted a pretty floral print scarf for the HSN collection), Broadway actress, or designer -- Twiggy is always a class act.
