Grace, de rechterhand van Anna Wintour, zou namelijk degene zijn die de look met de grote ogen bedacht zoals voormalig topmodel Twiggy dat deed.
Grace zegt daarover in haar memoir: "My particular thing was to draw an extra-wide stroke emphasizing the crease of the eye socket and add extravagantly long, spidery lines below the eye, a little like doll’s lashes, then paint a dot toward the inner corner for reasons I can’t exactly articulate except that it looked nice and “now.” Later I discovered my crazy new eyelash look being called “twiglets” and credited to the young British model Twiggy. Well, they were very much mine. I was probably doing them before she was born!"
