Why FKA Twigs Doesn’t Regret Burning Off Her Skin After Bleached Eyebrows Mishap – E! Online

FKA Twigs’ style dedication comes as no surprise considering she frequently goes the extra mile in the name of beauty.

After all, she pushed the boundaries once again when she teamed up with Calvin Klein in January on a risqué campaign that showcased her bare body with a shirt slightly draped over. At the time, however, the sexy ad ended up being banned in the U.K. for being “likely to cause offense,” per the BBC.

“I do not see the ‘stereotypical sexual object’ that they have labelled me,” FKA wrote in response in a Jan. 10 Instagram. “I see a beautiful strong woman of colour whose incredible body has overcome more pain than you can imagine.”

The “Bliss” artist said she felt targeted because there were double standards at play.

“I am proud of my physicality and hold the art I create with my vessel to the standards of women like Josephine Baker, Eartha Kitt and Grace Jones who broke down barriers of what it looks like to be empowered and harness a unique embodied sensuality,” she continued her message. “Thank you to CK and Mert and Marcus who gave me a space to express myself exactly how i wanted to.”

She concluded, “I will not have my narrative changed.”
