Fashionable music: Filter without filter with FKA Twigs

Hello Fka Twigs, how are you?“I'm fine, but in massive overheating - I'm on a plane and it's so hot.Everyone sleeps, but I am well awake and I chat with the air hostess.»

You haven't done a lot of brand campaigns, what made you want to work with Burberry?“When I was 18 years old, I was a boyfriend who lived in a city of Pimlico [in London] and sometimes, at night, we took up in Knightsbridge and watch the windows of creator shops.Burberry was at the corner of the street, everything enlightened and shiny.My boyfriend, who was a very ambitious athlete from Barbados, predicted that one day we would have the means to wear these clothes.At the time, I received a subsistence allowance for studies (EMA) of £ 30 per week, and buy creator clothes seemed out of reach.»

"These ambitious statements were a little annoyed because I was at the time at the Croydon College and I felt aimed at and overwhelmed by London.Burberry is the only specific shop in which I remember watching at midnight during these walks.This is why, years later, the fact that I was asked to be the muse of Burberry seems to me surreal and somewhat fortuitous. Je ne pense pas que la morale de l'histoire soit que si vous vous projetez de manière positive, que vous travaillez dur et que vous vous comportez bien, l'univers vous entend et vous donne satisfaction, mais je pense que dans un autre monde parallèle, mon moi de 18 ans me regarde peut-être dans une boule de cristal en disant ‘Vas-y ma fille’!»

What effect does it have to see the Olympia campaign today? "I'm proud.Burberry has such a heritage - it is an emblematic brand.But to be honest, I suppose that being from Gloucester, I remember these boys who circulated in town in flashy cars and wore Burberry caps.All the boys I liked by growing wearing something burberry.»

How did you meet Riccardo Tisci, the artistic director of Burberry?"I think we met for the first time at one of the emblematic summer holidays of Ibiza of fashion photographers Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott, but I was shy and I had a lot of acne, soI don't think I was very communicative.»
