It’s a big week for our beloved The Run-Through co-host Chioma! Her first cover as British Vogue’s head of editorial content is out, and it stars her “dream girl,” FKA Twigs—looking surprisingly stripped-back. “This is the beginning of a new era for me,” Twigs tells Chioma over Zoom after her cover shoot. “I know I can take a lot, fashion-wise. I can take a lot of prints, I can take a lot of color, a lot of makeup, a lot of hair. But I feel like I don’t need that so much anymore.”
Twigs goes on to describe her new state of being as “eusexua,” a word she made up to describe the feeling you get when you lose yourself to something you enjoy doing, whether it’s dancing or a passion project. And Twigs teaches Chioma a few other words from her personal dictionary (or, as Chioma calls them, “twig-isms”), including “cheback” (the rolls on the back of a bald man’s head) and “quas” (referring to both the oil residue left around the edges of the tub after a bath, and the saliva or lipgloss around the edges of a person’s mouth).
