Twiggy and Sadie Frost Host Exclusive NYFW Celebration for Documentary Premiere at Sloane’s at The Manner
The legendary supermodel and acclaimed filmmaker welcomed an intimate gathering of fashion, film, music, and cultural luminaries to celebrate TWIGGY during New York Fashion Week.
New York Fashion Week provided the backdrop for a particularly meaningful celebration on Thursday evening, September 10, 2026, as legendary supermodel Twiggy and filmmaker Sadie Frost gathered an exclusive group of friends, artists, actors, designers, and industry insiders at Sloane’s at The Manner in SoHo following the New York debut screening of the highly anticipated documentary TWIGGY.
Held at the sophisticated cocktail lounge at 58 Thompson Street, the intimate gathering brought together approximately 50 guests to celebrate the film and Twiggy’s extraordinary legacy, following an exclusive screening in Tribeca.

The evening was hosted by Twiggy and Frost, who welcomed guests in celebration of the documentary’s upcoming U.S. release through Cleopatra Entertainment. The film arrives September 22, 2026, with an exclusive DVD release as well as availability on VOD platforms.
The occasion carried an added sense of significance as 2026 marks 60 years since Twiggy was discovered, commemorating the beginning of a career that would forever alter the worlds of fashion, entertainment, and popular culture.
A Toast to a Fashion Icon
Guests celebrated the occasion with a curated selection of cocktails inspired by the evening and its legendary guest of honor. Among the offerings was The Twiggy, a signature Espresso Martini crafted with Absolut Vodka, alongside The Fashion Staple, Sloane’s signature Dirty Martini made with Absolut Vodka. The Absolut Icon, a stylish take on the Dirty Shirley featuring Absolut Vodka, was also served. Wine selections included Sloane’s red and white house offerings as well as Château Sainte Marguerite Symphonie Rosé, while Rabbit Hole Bourbon was available by request.
The intimate setting at Sloane’s provided an elegant counterpoint to the energy of Fashion Week, giving guests the opportunity to celebrate the documentary in a relaxed atmosphere while reflecting on Twiggy’s enduring influence.
Inside TWIGGY
Directed by Sadie Frost, TWIGGY offers an intimate portrait of one of the world’s first truly global supermodels and the woman behind the instantly recognizable image. The documentary traces Twiggy’s extraordinary journey from her upbringing in London to her meteoric rise to international fame, exploring her groundbreaking fashion career as well as her work in film, television, and theater. The film also delves into her relationships, personal experiences, and the moments that helped shape her evolution from 1960s fashion phenomenon into a global cultural icon.
Central to the story is the transformative role of the United States in Twiggy’s career. Her American success helped propel her from British sensation to international superstar, with appearances on magazine covers, Broadway, television, and ultimately as a judge on America’s Next Top Model.
While Twiggy’s distinctive look helped define an era, her career would prove to be far more expansive than fashion alone. TWIGGY explores the breadth of her cultural impact and the remarkable longevity of a career spanning decades and multiple creative disciplines. The documentary features an exceptional lineup of interviews with artists, musicians, designers, and actors, including Paul McCartney, Stella McCartney, Dustin Hoffman, Brooke Shields, Sienna Miller, and Charlotte Tilbury, offering personal perspectives on Twiggy’s influence and legacy.
Sadie Frost’s Documentary Journey
For Frost, TWIGGY represents another chapter in an increasingly compelling documentary filmmaking career. The film marks her second feature documentary following QUANT, which celebrated the life and legacy of revolutionary British fashion designer Dame Mary Quant and her transformative influence on 1960s fashion. Frost is now directing her third feature documentary, QUADROPHENIA, exploring the enduring legacy of The Who’s landmark 1973 rock opera and its evolution within popular culture.
With TWIGGY, Frost turns her lens toward another defining figure of British cultural history, creating a deeply personal portrait of a woman whose influence continues to resonate across fashion, film, music, and entertainment.
As the evening at Sloane’s drew to a close, the gathering served as both a celebration of the documentary and a toast to Twiggy herself — six decades after her discovery and more than half a century after she first captured the world’s imagination. Some icons define a moment. Others transcend it. Twiggy remains firmly in the latter category. TWIGGY officially released in the U.S. on September 22, 2026 and is now streaming.
