The Fashion Awards took place in London last night at the Royal Albert Hall, and British Vogue’s Chioma Nnadi skipped all the afterparties so that she could join Nicole Phelps immediately afterwards and give us a rundown of the evening.We also have an extra-special treat: a conversation between Nnadi and SZA, British Vogue’s current cover star. This conversation feels less like an interview and more like sitting in on a conversation between two friends; which makes sense since Nnadi and Solána—SZA’s real name, and how Nnadi calls her—go back over a decade.
