2017 Kicks off with FKA Twigs
My love affair with Ms Twigs, aka, FKA Twigs continues with the recent announcement that she is to be NIKE's new Creative director for Spring 2017. Enter her usual quirky graceful magic and you have a marketing campaign that's sure to inspire! FKA Twigs has produced some beautiful artistic delights of late, her artistic flair dancing across your psyche with grace, style and a slight disconcerting feeling that has you uncontrollably watching and absorbing anything she produces!
So, here are the latest offerings in reverse date order...

In Baltimore on July 18, FKA twigs calls for dancers to take part in a workshop the following day. Around 400 dancers show up and are put through their paces by FKA Twigs and choreographers Ramon Baynes, Dominic Lawrence and Kash Powell.
The result, a documentary titled 'Baltimore Dance Project', featuring the workshop and subsequent live performance. https://wetransfer.com/thisworks/studios/fka-twigs-baltimore/ |

It's January and Ms FKA Twigs has been named NIKE Creative Director for Spring 2017.
FKA Twigs herself explains: "When Nike first came to me with this project, I saw it as an opportunity to let young people know they have the power to become the best versions of themselves. I put together a cast of 12 incredible athletes to show it's about what you do...how you train. It's about how those things help your movement." Watch he film, titled ‘do you believe in more’ |
