Transcript
00:00Hey Hollywood Reporter, I'm FKA Twigs and these are my top threes.
00:14So my top three red carpet looks. I once wore an archive bird of paradise dress by Alexander
00:23McQueen to his museum gala opening. I just loved wearing something from the McQueen archive because
00:29I know it's hard to get in there and yeah it's just a very major look. I wore a Jean-Paul Gaultier
00:36blazer from the tribal collection and a huge big green fur hat to the NME awards a few years ago
00:42and I love that look because I collect a lot of archive fashion and it was from my wardrobe and
00:48then probably my third favorite not in order is the VMA's look that I just wore on the red carpet
00:57by Fecal Matter. My hair stylist Louis made me headphones out of braids. I've been wearing a
01:03lot of headphones recently because I cut all my hair off and I've needed something to hold my hair back.
01:07I guess as a result of my team and I being really close and us just observing how we're working
01:12together so he came up with this amazing idea to make me headphones with these like amazing braids
01:18hanging off. My top three artists I would say at the moment are Andre 3000, The Cocteau Twins and Prince.
01:29I think for me Cocteau Twins I can play any time of day in the morning on a shoot in the studio at night
01:35there's something about their music it just sets me free from whatever I'm going through I'm just set
01:40free as soon as those guitars and heavenly vocals come in yeah that's probably my go-to favorite I'd say.
01:46Well obviously it's hard to do movies and artists because it does change but at the moment my top
01:53three movies would be Silence by Scorsese and Avatar The Way of Water that blew me away and when I went
02:01to sleep that night after watching it I had dreams that I was in the sea and I could move like the
02:07Avatar and it was I say it was like top three dreams because I was going through the water with all the
02:12sea creatures and it felt so real it just really inspired me and my imagination and then the third
02:18one of The Boyfriend by Ken Russell. I love the choreography and the way that he interchanges the
02:24theatre scenes to the real life scenes and there's so much joy in the movie and obviously Twiggy is incredible.
02:32I just went to Seoul in Korea for the second time and it topped even my first time so my team are
02:42trying to stop me from moving to Korea right now I just want to change my number move to Korea
02:45and just be there amongst the incredible culture and the amazing people all the amazing artists there
02:51so I'd say Korea I'd say Ghana when I went to Ghana when I was 19 I had a really life-changing experience
02:57I went to this castle where they held all the slaves before they went across the sea and I went in the
03:06rooms I'm Jamaican and my surname is Smith so obviously that meant so much to me knowing that
03:10my ancestors are from slavery and I felt just when I was 19 it made me really connect to where I was from
03:16and it blew my heart open to my ancestors and all the generations that have come before me and what
03:23they've been through so that I can be here so I'd say Ghana I would say Paris which feels obvious
03:30but I love going there I love how unbothered everybody is I love the beautiful architecture
03:34I love how on one hand it's grand and luxurious on the other hand it's like a bit rubbish and run down
03:40and I love how it's all intertwined and so chic okay wow top three pieces of advice I think a famous
03:48actor said and we can fact check who it is don't believe them when they love you don't believe them when
03:52they hate you yeah well everyone has an opinion now so it doesn't mean it's real good for good or
03:58for bad you know another piece of advice would be I guess like to treat your body like it's a temple
04:04I think the more I just lean into that way of living it's the fruit of the labor behind looking after
04:10myself resonates tenfold throughout my life and then the third one would be if you look after the pennies
04:17the pounds will look after themselves it means that the small choices that you make financially add
04:23up to being able to feel financially secure those matcha lattes they'll get you
04:39hello what you like and you're my big character i'll be anytime you can call me up
04:48crash the system diva dolls serve violence
