Shadan Larki “We Are Lady Parts” centers on an all-female Muslim punk band who are making music their way, building an audience, and balancing their personal life on and off stage.Costume designer PC Williams designed each woman’s wardrobe to honor her relationship with her faith while also using costume to act as an avenue for cultural and self-expression.The series, streaming on Peacock, follows five women— Amina (Anjana Vasan), the newly recruited lead guitarist; Saira (Sarah Kameela Impey), Lady Parts’ lead singer; Ayesha, (Juliette Motamed) Lady Parts’ drummer; Bisma (Faith Omole), the bass player, and Momtaz (Lucie Shorthouse), the band’s manager.“All of these women are second-generation migrants, like me; I was born in the U.K., but my roots are from Nigeria and Ghana.
When I was thinking about these four women, for me, it was about really trying to understand who they were culturally and marrying that with a London vibe,” Williams says.
Four of the five band members wear some form of traditional Muslim head coverings. Williams brought on several Muslim women to her design team and undertook hours of research to accurately portray how style and religion operate side by side.“A head covering is a head covering, now how you do that is totally up to you and I wanted to show that there’s no one way to do it.
You can have diversity in a group of Muslim sisters,” Williams says.Williams broke down each rocker’s signature style.Amina has her sights set on finding a life partner and getting her Ph.D.
