FKA twigs has co-designed a pair of “sensual and strong” sneakers for activewear brand ON.
The 37-year-old pop star teamed up with the company last year as a creative partner and she’s starred in several campaigns but has now helped create a new capsule collection which reflects her busy lifestyle including the Cloud x FKA shoe – which retail for £170 – and the singer admits she wanted the pieces to be able to to take her from rehearsals to meetings and studio sessions.
She said in a statement: “I live a busy and varied life, often moving between training, meetings, and studio sessions in a single day. I wanted to create pieces that could move with me through those shifts – pieces that feel sensual and strong, and reflect all the different sides of who I am.
“This capsule collection is about feeling confident in your body and free to express yourself — whether you’re dancing, creating, or just moving through your day.”
A statement posted by ON on Instagram added: “A collection that explores movement as a source of constant transformation. Inspired by dance, designed for self-expression.”
The collection also includes the Studio Bra FKA (£75) which is designed to provide “no feel” comfort as well as the Studio Short FKA (£85) which is a hybrid of shorts and a skirt. Other pieces co-designed by the singer include tights, a long-sleeved T-shirt, a cropped hoodie, a scarf, headband and socks.
The capsule collection is due to be released by the end of June.
The singer previously revealed she is as meticulous about her beauty regime as she is about her fashion choices,
FKA Twigs admitted she has a “vigorous” routine using “healing” products as part of a self-care ritual, telling Harper’s Bazaar: “I express myself through ritual; for me it’s not really about the end result, it’s knowing that every single day I’m doing something to take care of myself.”
Twigs went on to reveal she uses Amala Pro Retinoic Treatment Oil which is packed full of 23K Gold as well as plant seeds and oils and retails at around £195.
She also uses the £515 FaceGym Pro which is described as “a non-invasive facial device that uses electrical muscle stimulation to strengthen, tone and sculpt the face”.
She said of the gadget: “It basically lifts your face an inch … it’s like a mini facelift.”
The singer concluded by insisting she now has a much healthier approach to looking after herself, adding: “I used to be really hard on myself to be perfect, or have perfect skin or perfect hair, or be a certain weight. I don’t feel like that anymore … (self-care) alleviates a lot of the pressure of the usual beauty standards that I think we can all fall in a trap with”.
