For the latest issue of TWNTY Magazine, WNBA star Olivia Nelson-Ododa is featured wearing Miu Miu, photographed by Mathew Sprout. Titled The Body Knows, the story embodies thoughtful conversation with bold, fashion driven imagery that highlights the connection between athleticism, feminism, and self expression.
Throughout the editorial, Sprout shows his ability to balance intimacy with strength. His photograph shifts between dramatic black and white portraits to rich, saturated color, allowing each image to feel unique but also deeply personal. His photography goes beyond celebrating fashion, instead he embodies movement, passion, and confidence in every photograph that reflects Nelson-Ododa’s presence on and off the court.
Styled by Aryeh Lappin in looks from Loewe, Balenciaga, Chanel, Dior, Valentino, Miu Miu, and more, the editorial puts luxury fashion alongside the power of an elite sport without losing authenticity. Sprout’s use of lighting, framing, and minimal sets keeps the focus strictly on the subject, creating personal imagery that feels timeless.
The following interview explores Nelson-Ododa’s journey throughout her professional basketball career, her creativity, and fashion. Both the photographs and interview create a compelling narrative that extends beyond just the photos. With The Body Knows, Mathew Sprout once again proved his talent in producing editorial work that is visually appealing and emotionally powerful.
