FKA twigs' career is coming full circle.
The British singer-songwriter, 34, recently teamed up with Dutch fashion brand Viktor & Rolf to be the face of their new perfume,Good Fortune. Twigs, whose real name is Tahliah Debrett Barnett, toldInStylethat she previously sold Flowerbomb, another Viktor & Rolf fragrance, at a retail job in England before she became famous.
“Years ago I used to work in a department store and [sold] Flowerbomb,” Twigs told the publication. “I’ve always found an affinity for the brand.”
“Everything in life is kind of meant to be and you sort of follow the signs, do your best with everything that’s thrown at you,” she added of the partnership.
The Grammy-nominated performer added that the vanilla scent reminds her of a “mother’s milk,” adding, “Natural vanilla is a very all-knowing note. There’s something inherently very nurturing about it.”

The"Killer" singertold InStyle that she views wearing perfume as “almost part of a ritual.”
“It’s about controlling your own world, but from the inside out,” she shared. “Controlling the world that’s inside of you and then how that could spill out into our everyday lives.”
As for partnering with Viktor & Rolf, twigs said the brand “just felt like a world that I would easily be able to fit into.”
