FKA twigs dons black bustier for artsy photoshoot... as she reveals she's 'fine' with T-Pain after singer spilled beans on her engagement to Robert Pattinson
She's well known for mixing music with art - and FKA twigs' latest photoshoot for Complex magazine is certainly more creative than most.
The 27-year-old star poses for a vivid set of images which have also been transformed into some stunning animation on the magazine's website.
With some abstract graphics thrown in the mix, the English singer is seen in a variety of dramatic poses for the cover story, as she talks about fame, her tough childhood and her relationship with fiance Robert Pattinson.

Twigs is seen with long braids in her hair which become part of the artwork that surrounds her as she wears bold patterned ensembles - including a snakeskin dress and metallic studded bustier.
She also sports a scarlet red one-shoulder gown as her dark locks are seen sculpted into a crown-like dome on her head.
The R&B singer talks about her engagement to the Twilight actor with some hesitation and seems disappointed when asked about when pal T-Pain accidentally let slip about their big news.

She told interviewer Cedar Pasori, 'I'd rather not talk about it' as Pasori also noted 'Her response isn't angry, or impatient, but genuinely sad,'
She then added 'It's fine, I'm a pretty chill person, do you know what I mean? ... If you can't touch it, it's not real.'
Twigs became engaged to Pattinson in April - and singer T-Pain, 29, inadvertently told the world when he mentioned it in an interview with Vulture at the time.

Twigs - born Tahliah Debrett Barnett - talked a lot about the online attacks - including racism -she has received since dating Pattinson, 29.
'I wouldn't say I'm completely numb to it now, but there's definitely a numbness there.
'It is pretty horrible. But ultimately, I'm in an amazing relationship. So it doesn't matter.'
Twigs echoed the sentiments she expressed about fame to the New York Times in May as she said: 'If this is what being an artist is, I'm not really sure this is for me. This [the press cycle] is horrific. I could be doing dance class right now.'
But the star was also keen to express gratitude for her success: 'I haven't had an easy life at all, but everything seems to be working out,
'I'm so grateful for that, because at times, especially when I was a teenager, I just couldn't see how things could ever get better, or how I'd ever be able to do this. I don't know what I thought I'd be doing.
'I'd always worked hard at music and at dancing, but I never thought I'd get the opportunity to be doing this, and have the belief of people to give me a budget to make a video...These things are incredible.'
