COVERS
Rude!
Fan favourite of RuPaul’s Drag Race UK season 2, Asttina Mandella was robbed in the sewing competition of the series, becoming the third contestant to sashay away, leaving viewers gagging for more. Now a proud icon for the black and queer community, Asttina shows off her multi-talented skills as a dancer, model and drag queen for ZERO NINE’s Pride issue; talking style, Drag Race and ASOS.
Transhumans
Gallery producer, curator, DJ and musician – Parma Ham is a multidisciplinary artist known for their big hair and extraordinary club nights. Together with partner Salvia, we met the extreme dressers to talk about gender, identity and Pride.
Darling Josephine
Josephine Jones’ fashion collection debuted in 2019, with beautiful floral pieces that made those who wear them look like an ethereal goddess; Josephine is to the optics what Lana Del Rey is to the auditory, only with much more intelligent cultural knowledge. We sat down with the ever-so charming Ms Jones to discuss gender expression and her ultimate queer icons.
Queer Manifesto
The man about town (London and NYC to be exact), Jack Guinness, has just published his first book and manifesto ‘The Queer Bible’, celebrating the works and lives of the global queer community alongside original illustrations by young LGBTQ+ artists. We asked Jack a few questions in-between takes during our shoot, to learn more about his book and his thoughts on gender expression.
Avant-Garde Kink
We caught up with the beautiful deity Ada Zanditon to find out more about her fashion fused with fetish couture line.
