Last month FKA Twigs stunned Instagram users with her debut zine, Avantgarden which was released exclusively through the social media platform. To follow up, the artist released the zine's second issue titled, Dream Warrior, which features a unique collection of collaborations, in addition to an original poem written by the songstress.
Alongside the second edition of the zine, FKA Twigs also launched a Dream Warrior clothing line which features apparel items that deviate from standard and expected band merchandise, including a pajama set and accessories. The line of sleepwear combines bold prints and other worldly imagery as the artist intended to create something special for people who aren't afraid to wear sleepwear out in the real world.
