What does it mean to become comfortable with who you are, and confident enough to show it?

This week on Who Are You (Wearing?), Alice is joined by Scottish footballer, activist and entrepreneur Zander Murray for a warm, honest and occasionally chaotic conversation about identity, representation, confidence and finding your own style.

Zander made history as the first openly gay male footballer in Scotland, and has become a prominent voice for LGBTQ+ representation in football. He talks about growing up in the East End of Glasgow, rarely seeing gay representation in the media that felt like him, and the experience of coming out publicly, including the unexpected journey that took him onto Lorraine.

The conversation also explores the impact of Zander’s activism and why visibility in football still matters. He shares how those experiences have shaped his work today, including RIKA, his new training venture focused on helping people develop both physically and mentally while becoming the most authentic version of themselves.

And, naturally, we get into the clothes. From red carpet dressing and his first Pride outfit to the highs and lows of buying and selling on Vinted, Zander reveals how fashion has become another way of expressing who he is.

What happens when your teenage emo phase becomes a lifelong personality trait?

In the final episode of our month of Edinburgh Fringe specials, Alice Cruickshank is joined by Scotland's pop-punk comedian Hannah Morton for a nostalgic trip back to the millennial alternative scene.

Hannah and Alice revisit the world of "elder emo" culture, from Twilight and Paramore to the enduring influence of Hayley Williams.

They also take a look back at some of the era's most questionable style choices, from emo fashion to indie sleaze, including the divisive mullet dress. Along the way, they bond over their shared love of winged eyeliner and the commitment required to maintain seriously bright ginger hair.

Hannah also talks about her new Edinburgh Fringe show, Crushed, and life as a comedian in Scotland's comedy scene.

It's a conversation about nostalgia, personal style, music, and all the things from your teenage years that you thought you'd left behind but absolutely haven't.

• Millennial alternative fashion and nostalgia

What does it take to create an iconic character...and how much of that character is actually you?

In this episode of Who Are You (Wearing?), Alice Cruickshank is joined by character actor, comedian and creator Selina Mosinski, best known for bringing the unforgettable Charity Shop Sue to life.

Selina takes us behind the look that made Sue an internet sensation, including the story behind her famous hair and how much of Sue's wardrobe came from Selina's own clothes. She also talks about the process of building a character through costume, personality and attitude, before revealing how different her own style is these days.

The conversation moves from Charity Shop Sue to Selina's love of minimal, structural, Asian-inspired fashion, as well as some of her favourite vintage looks and why Bananarama remain a style inspiration.

Selina is currently bringing her new Edinburgh Fringe show, Puss in Boots: A Working Class Fairytale, to the stage. Drawing on her own journey from strip club to performer, the campy and absurdist show explores late 90s and 00s ladette culture, third-wave feminism, early 00s tabloid culture and the experience of being a woman in the public eye.

It's a conversation about character, identity, ambition and the complicated relationship between who we are, who we're seen to be and what we choose to wear.
