Twiggy in Letters by Caroline Ross
Caroline Ross, a design student here in Michigan,  created this for an assignment and I thought it was pretty cool. The assignment required students to create an image of a person using only typography and including a quote from the person in question.
I think she did an especially good job with the eyelashes. Caroline, what typeface did you use?
Do you remember Twiggy? She is now an actress, but in the 1960′s she was a super model known for being very thin – hence “Twiggy”.

I used Didot, part of the assignment was to use one of the twelve classic fonts. Thanks for posting!

Awesome! Yes I remember Twiggy, and she was also known for those eyelashes! Everyone started using mascara on the lower lashes.

I remember those eyelashes. Weren’t they sort of painted on? Mascara plus liner pencil drawing lower lashes. I think I’ll go look it up.

Yes, you’re right! Little lines were drawn on the lower lid representing lashes.
I remember Jean Shrimpton.
