What inspired FKA twigs' unique fashion sense?
Hi, come in. Welcome to Fashion Neurosis, FKA Twigs. Hi. Can you tell me what you're wearing today and why you chose these particular clothes?
I'm kind of in a week's break from coming back from tour. I'm sorting out my wardrobe at the moment. And so I've actually taken all my clothes out of my wardrobe. So it was quite funny getting dressed for this because I don't have a lot at home. But I did just have dry cleaned the... Paolo Casano dress that I wore at the British Fashion Awards last December on the red carpet. And this Goa hoodie that I got off Depop last week and tracksuit bottoms from Tor and some archive Rick Owen boots that my boyfriend got for me for Christmas. And I decided to wear a red carpet dress but sort of repurposed because I think it speaks a lot to the way I see fashion and dressing myself and the idea of morphing and one day something can be on the red carpet and the next day it can be with a tracksuit and more relaxed or playful.
I don't really... love fashion in terms of i wouldn't consider myself somebody that keeps up to date with the latest trends or new designers and and collections and these things but i love the creativity and the unnerving of oneself that clothes can bring so yeah i decided to repurpose this red carpet look
Unearthing oneself is a really good description of what fashion can do. I've never heard anyone say that, but that's some of its power when you know how to use it in the way you've described. And it's nice the way you have these comfort things and these kind of glamor things as well. I think it's great to put them all together with so much deftness. One of my favorite words.
Yeah. Looks are kind of an archive, I guess, of like who you were. It's like a personality. You can bring things forward or leave things behind.
Yeah, that's... Yeah, it's so true. And colors do that. In fact, Riz Ahmed was talking about when he wears certain colors, he can be slightly in the background because they do the work for him. And other colors, he has to step up and work on their behalf. And I thought that was a useful thing to know about your own wardrobe.
How did FKA twigs' upbringing influence her artistic journey?
What's up, y'all? I'm Skylar Diggins, seven-time WNBA All-Star, Olympic gold medalist, and mom. And I'm Cassidy Hubbard, host and reporter for nearly 20 years, covering the biggest names and stories in sports and mom. And this is AmMom, a community for athletes, game changers, and moms of all kinds. Dropping May 14th. Tap in with us.
Does anyone really know what goes on behind closed doors at the Supreme Court?
Four years ago, I got a tip about the court, and I was not in the market to cover it whatsoever. But this tip was about a secret influence campaign that had been carried out inside the court. As you know, the very idea of that is outrageous.
I'm Preet Bharara, and this week, New York Times investigative journalist Jodi Kantor joins me to discuss her expose on the court's shadow docket. The episode is out now. Search and follow Stay Tuned with Preet wherever you get your podcasts.
And you're an award-winning singer, songwriter, dancer, actor, and producer. And you were described in one of the many accolades I've read about you as an Olympian of pop performance, an artist who wields her unbelievable physical prowess to illustrate every tricky subtlety of her music. And your mother was a dancer and a gymnast. And I wondered, was it her who instilled your belief in how amazing a body can be?
Yes, in part. My mum actually didn't really want me to dance when I was younger. Really? Because she always said that dancing broke her heart and she didn't want me to feel that heartbreak that she had when, I think she had an injury and then she didn't pursue it exactly in the way she wanted to. So when I was a little girl, she didn't want me to dance. And then when I was about eight, I went to the doctors and the doctor said I had flat feet and something that would be good for it would be ballet. And as soon as I heard him say that, I'd be like, well, I have to go, the doctor said. That's so good.
