  • and I performed on stage,
  • It was just such a huge honor.
  • At that point, I'd become very close with Sarah Burton during my first tour
  • Congregata, because she'd allowed me to go through the archives of McQueen and wear some of the outfits on stage,
  • I just learned to love making a statement
  • and I just realized how fun it could be to wear something that some people might love
  • and some people might hate,
  • It was really amazing to be able to reinterpret the designer's looks
  • but through my lens,
  • So this is a performance that I did.
  • It was Coachella.
  • And this is a K to Z piece.
  • I remember, I started doing these kind of big
  • Susie and the Banshee style eyebrows on stage,
  • And in these early years
  • I was not very concerned with looking attractive at all.
  • You know, I really didn't care.
  • I just wanted to get across.
  • my inner fire and how much tenacity I had as a young artist.
  • So I'd always use my body so much when I was performing
  • and the light would shine through
  • and being able to work with these silhouettes on stage was really exciting,
  • And I learned a lot about the power of dress.
  • So this next look is my Glastonbury performance.
  • I was working with Aaron Sillis
  • who'd choreographed the whole performance
  • and there were so many different dancers.
  • The routines were really intense.
  • I was going from hip hop to commercial dancing to contemporary to voguing
  • and I needed something that could incorporate all of the genres of music movement that I wanted to do,
  • And there was only one person that I felt could really
  • nail it and that was my mom.
  • And so I asked my mom to make my outfit for me.
  • Some of the moves were very balletic as well.
  • So, I had these little Nike
  • sort of contemporary ballet pumps,
  • And it's funny actually working with my mom
  • because she'd always be like
  • are you safe?
  • Is anything going to fall out?
  • It was really fun going to fittings with her
  • and coming back, and reporting how it had worked in the rehearsals,
  • So this is my Melissa artwork
  • shot by Matthew Stone
  • who has been a very long collaborator of mine.
  • Throughout the years, I've gone back to Matthew.
  • I love the way he shoots.
  • He has a real velvety touch
  • and he's an absolute perfectionist
  • like I am, so we work well together.
  • So this...
  • Next look is from my Buck's Feet music video with ASAP Rocky
  • styled by the amazing Matthew Josephs.
  • The jacket I'm wearing here is Dior by Galliano.
  • But this whole video, the looks are so iconic.
  • Kabuki did my makeup.
  • Nasir made me a custom pole dancing outfit.
  • Fikomata made me a dress.
  • I had the wash and go Stephen Jones headpiece
  • the Dior latex orchid headpiece.
  • Do you know what's so amazing about videos like this is when you can source pieces from the runway or from a look
  • and they're all around the world
  • and when they come together
  • you manage to put together pieces from the original runway,
  • As a archivist, that's what I'm obsessed with.
  • This is from my Magdalene tour
  • and it's one of my favorite looks
  • designed by Ed Marla.
  • Every aspect of this tour was thought about down to the absolute T
  • Within the embroidery of the corset here
  • you have spikenard, roses
  • oils, and herbs that Mary Magdalene used to heal people,
  • This next look is one of my personal faves
  • because it's one of my archive pieces
  • Dior Ninety Seven,
  • And again, this is one of those instances where you manage to get all of the looks from the piece
  • but they're all from different parts of the world,
  • So the top and the trousers
  • and then I found the bag in America and I was like
  • I have to get that.
  • But then when we were in the makeup chair
  • I actually was so scared
  • because I can't remember where she is,
  • Like this look.
  • You know those things where people say they go to sleep
  • and they think, where's my birth certificate,
  • That's what I just had with this.
  • I'm like, where is she?
  • So as soon as I leave this
  • I'm going to go home and hunt her out.
  • This next look was for the Grammys
  • and it was designed by Ed Marler
  • and I'd been away touring
  • and I hadn't seen him
  • so he turned up with the dress fully made,
  • We hadn't had a fitting.
  • There's like this beautiful lace catsuit that goes underneath the dress
  • so it's all this like applique like all over my body
  • but it had no stretch in it
  • so I basically couldn't lift my arms or walk at all,
  • So it's really funny because
  • when you see me on the carpet
  • I'm just like,
  • like this, because I couldn't move in it
  • but it was worth it.
  • Oh, this one's a fun one.
  • So this is when I went to the CSM graduate show
  • and I invited Madonna
  • because she was in town for a few days,
  • And I was like, do you want to come to something fun with me?,
  • She really loved the show.
  • I was supporting my good friend, Yaz Whitlock.
  • This dress I'm wearing is by Freya from Fanny Twirls.
  • This is one of my favorite bags.
  • It's a coconut shell and it's by Nazia, handmade.
  • Oh, and the cardi.
  • I've had this little shrug.
  • I've had that since I was fourteen.
  • Oh, I love this.
  • When I walked in the Miu Miu show
  • it really changed me because I was with Muchia
  • and we were doing the fitting
  • and I had two choices of outfits.
  • And one was this bondage
  • like, belly out knickers
  • this big black belt.
  • And it was a lot more me.
  • And Muchia looked at it
  • and she said, no, I want you to wear the shirt with the sweater,
  • And for a moment, I was a little bit disappointed because
  • I was like, oh, I really wanted to wear
  • like, the Lara Croft bondage y outfit,
  • But when I saw myself in these pictures
  • I was like, wow, it's amazing when something fits so well
  • and the cut is sublime,
  • You don't need anything.
  • You don't need makeup.
  • You don't need hair.
  • You just have this incredible silhouette.
  • I never thought being so dinky
  • I'd ever walk in a fashion show
  • let alone Miu Miu,
  • And to close the show was definitely a huge honor.
  • So this next look, I went to the British Fashion Awards
  • with Rick Owens, and Moncler,
  • Super fab look, but the thing that I love the most about this picture
  • is actually my makeup,
  • If you have an idea, it's always from the center of your forehead
  • and this moment of clarity that I've spoken about a lot,
  • Every time I went out
  • I just wanted to have this bust somehow.
  • Actually, the little dot in the middle is reflective
  • so when the flash went off
  • I wanted it to look like I was having
  • a beam, like an idea.
  • This next look was from when I went to the the the Met Gala
  • with John Galliano, for Margiela,
  • It's an archival piece from the year of the Mew Mew.
  • You can see how walking in the Mew Mew
  • and then this sort of correlates,
  • For me, it's having that confidence that less can be more.
  • When I did my fitting of Galeano, I could have cried.
  • The attention to detail that he has, every single feather.
  • He came in and he like
  • with his nail, was getting it absolutely perfect.
  • And I was like trying to stand and he was like
  • okay, so it's good.
  • Like when you do like a twist
  • you see the sheen down the side of the satin of the dress.
  • It felt like a really strong moment for me
  • and I felt like I arrived into myself in a way,
  • This next look is for my performance at Vogue World
  • just last year,
  • It's by Laquan Smith, and actually
  • I changed my outfit hours before the show
  • and all of the dancers' outfits,
  • It was too busy.
  • I had this really amazing white
  • This is my first Vogue cover.
  • I'm wearing Loewe.
  • To be on Chioma's cover is such a huge honor.
  • This year I'm definitely trying to take more stock of my accolades and give myself a pat on the back just to stop and be like yeah that was that was good I can take a moment and this is a real milestone.
  • Oh yeah, I actually did that after the shoot because I took all my friends out for a big curry so,
  • I was conscious.
  • Even then, even after the shoot
  • I was like, I'm gonna remember this.
  • I am FKA Twigs, and this has been my life in looks.
  • I've really enjoyed it, and I hope that you have as well.
