Nicer Tuesdays: See Becky Smith's talk from our fashion-themed Nicer Tuesdays

Up next in our fashion-themed Nicer Tuesdays talks is Becky Smith, the editor and creative director of Twin magazine. She explained that Twin came into being because she wanted her own magazine, something that was “tomboyish, open-minded, feminist but not rammed down your throat.” Becky took us through the development of Twin over the years, revealing that it is her handwriting that adorns the cover and admitting that early experiments with not using photos on the front were a mistake – “I thought I was rebelling but it was a stupid idea.” She also showed how imaginative creative treatments can elevate products into something much more interesting – whether that’s styling a Louis Vuitton shoot around a road accident or draping Tiffany jewellery over Gary Card’s plasticine sloths.
