The brother-and-sister fashion design duo unveil their first-ever disco

Brother-and-sister fashion design duo Christopher and Tammy Kane unveil their first-ever More Joy disco in London.

Fashion designers and brother and sister duo, Christopher and Tammy Kane have been trendsetters in the fashion world since 2006. They’ve dressed celebrities and world leaders, blending a playful, sexy aesthetic with working-class realism. Now they're launching a brand-new club night in London, the More Joy Disco. 

But how does their upbringing in a small 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’s more joyful than disco?
