Using replicated human skin, the French cosmetics firm are slowly cloning the 60’s style icon. With state-of-the-art 3-D printing a spokesman said they expect to re-create Twiggy: ‘…from scratch, or scratchings to be precise. Twiggy scratchings. Twiglets, if you like’.

‘We want the consumer to ask. Maybe she's born with it? Maybe it's Maybelline? Maybe it’s the result of sinister bioengineering by a firm founded by Nazi sympathizers?’
