FKA Twigs shared the unfortunate inspiration behind one of her most popular hairstyles.
During British Vogue's latest Life in Looks episode, Twigs discussed the beaded twist bangs she wore to the Barclaycard Mercury Prize nominations launch in 2014.
“At the time, I’d actually been experimenting with bleaching my eyebrows, and I’d had an accident and I’d burnt off all the skin on my forehead,” Twigs said.
“My hairstylist Soichi [Inagaki] and I came up with this idea that I would have beads hanging really low to cover it up, so I could just be gorgey from here down.”
She added, “Actually I think that some of the greatest fashion moments come from a mishap or a mistake, and it turns into a happy accident.”
Looking back, the singer-songwriter has no regrets. In fact, she believes her eyebrows burning off was a good thing because it led to a creative way to express herself through her hair.
