Crystal Quartz: “I think fashion is incredibly important to your drag persona. It helps with defining the character of who you are as a queen or as a performer. I’m quite picky with my style. Having ownership over it is something that is quite important to me.”

See me on the Pavilion Panels at Britomart! Inside The Closet is a special exhibition by the New Zealand Fashion Museum, co-curated by Denise Baynham and Edward Cowley (Buckwheat), during Auckland Pride. February 1-28, The Pavilion Panels, Te Ara Tāhuhu Walkway, Britomart.

LingLing Meng: “Fashion is definitely very important for Ling Ling. When someone looks at me, I want to tell them: be happy, be yourself, you enjoy what you can do.”

Lola Popstickle: “When the final lash goes on and the wig slips into place, something clicks. I straighten up, I glow. I become Lola in full technicolour. My style tells a story using colour – the camp drag fantasy. It lets me take up space in the most delicious way possible. Without fashion, I’m still me, but with it I become the full strength Popstickle experience.”

Miss Geena: “As a trans person, I get to choose what I want to put out there into the world, and often I wear my trans colours very, very proud. Because for me, drag is a political statement.”

Kola Gin: “From the moment I complete my look, it feels magical. I feel a rush of transformation. It’s almost like stepping into a different realm where I can express my true self. Each outfit is a celebration of who I am and where I’ve come from. My relationship with fashion is deeply personal.”

Anita Wigl'it: “Fashion and costuming adds so much to the character because it really gives a visual cue as to who your character is. Looking on the outside, how you feel on the inside, it’s such a wonderful experience and I think really helps you as a performer too.”
