Christopher and Tammy Kane: More Joy

Fashion designers Christopher and Tammy Kane unveil their first-ever "More Joy" disco

Fashion designers and brother and sister duo, Christopher and Tammy Kane have been trendsetters in the fashion world since 2006. They鈥檝e dressed celebrities and world leaders, blending a playful, sexy aesthetic with working-class realism.

Now the Kanes have got the nightlife of London at their feet as they launch a brand-new club night: the More Joy Disco.

But how does their upbringing in a little Scottish village inform the glitz and glamour of their event? And why is joy such a motivating factor for the pair?

The writer Damian Barr grew up around the corner from Christopher and Tammy. He and Christopher were two of the only openly gay young people from the town.

The siblings take Damian behind the scenes of their first foray into in-person community celebration.

With LGBTQ rights being threatened around the world, celebrating queer joy is a radical act of resistance. And what鈥檚 more joyful than disco?
