Working at Kahn & Bell
1981
After leaving school Twiggy started working in [Kahn & Bell], a clothes shop on Hurst Street, (now demolished to make way for the entrance to the Arcadian), the Oasis market was nearby selling alternative gear. His boss at Kahn and Bell, Patty Bell, was a dominant figure in the local alternative scene, rather than the gay scene. She also worked at Barbarellas. "She looked amazing, I like that look but some people might think, there's a forty year old woman there with a tattoo on her head and pink hair but she's still eye-catching and mesmerising".
