Amrou Al-Kadhi: from sunglasses to Central Saint Martins

Writer, filmmaker, drag performer and professional unicorn Amrou Al-Kadhi joins Kiri. Amrou talks about their upbringing in the Middle East and the influence it had on their style as a genderqueer child. We hear about the shifting aesthetic of Amrou's drag persona, Glamrou, and how she grew from hot-girl escapism into the classic Arab fantasy we see today. Kiri and Amrou also chat about make-up setting the tone for a queen's outfit, inhabiting liminal spaces between masc and femme, and finding the sweet spot between glamour and comfort. Opulence! Who Are You Wearing is a Little Wander production. The producer is Jo Southerd.Artwork by Mari Phillips @mythsntits Music by Ani Glass.
