When asked who my idols are, I will always mention Audrey Hepburn. She will forever be a role model not only in entertainment, but in fashion and advocacy too.  Audrey Hepburn was a Belgian-English actress and fashion icon, former ballerina, and Nazi resistor. Born Audrey Kathleen Ruston to a British father and Dutch baroness mother, Hepburn moved to the Netherlands at 10-years-old with the intent of escaping Nazi occupation.  My favorite actress actually began her career as a dancer, and not simply in “A Chorus Line.” Audrey enrolled in a dance school. Though her family was privileged, the Nazis diverted food and resources away from the Netherlands, resulting in her family often going hungry When Hepburn turned 15, she was ordered to join the Nazi Kulturkammer, the artists’ union, or give...

Ben Sherman is pulling together a new wardrobe for its latest capsule collection, drawing its focus toward modern tailoring. Founded in 1963, Ben Sherman identifies a relaxed take on formalwear, embraced across generations of British youth culture.

The art of getting dressed is also the art of acceptance. Every day, we must decide how we feel in our bodies and how (if at all) we want to reflect that to the outside world. Some days, I wake up feeling fabulous: energetic, bushy-eyed, like one of Capote’s socialite swans. Other days, I emerge as a gremlin — groggy, grumpy, vexed, and vexing to everyone I come in contact with. At the core of both of these iterations of myself is the consistent and deep knowing of what I want most: comfort. What I need most are jeans that fit properly, shoes that don’t kill, and shirts that breathe. I know this sounds like I’m stating the obvious, but I spent an incredibly long time forgoing comfort in the name of fashion. Over the years, though, I’ve come to embrace that this is who I am and how I wan...

Another brand leaning hard into ’70s excess is Piaget, who’ve experienced a bold resurgence of late thanks to celebrities like Hailey Bieber, a noted fan of the house’s vintage gem-set models. At this year’s Watches & Wonders, the brand presented a whole host of eccentric timepieces. The Sixtie High Jewellery cuff – a wide rose gold cuff that fans out in layered, textured bands, each traced with diamonds, framing a glowing opal dial at its centre – beautifully evokes the decadence of the era. Closer to a statement bracelet than a classic watch, it also elegantly blurs the line between watches and jewellery entirely. There’s also a trio of “Swinging Pebbles” stone dial necklace watches, as well as a slightly more restrained Sixtie with a softly trapezoidal case recalling a late 1960s de...

The Voice of Fashion is an online fashion and design magazine. Completely distinct in the way it deals with the latest fashion trends and its approach to Indian Fashion industry, TVOF is an online platform that explores news, views, opinion pieces, reported articles, photo features, narrative style stories and shopping lists.

Known for its oversized silhouettes and muted layers, the Seoul-born streetwear aesthetic Acubi is being adopted by style-conscious shoppers around the world as an alternative to the precision-cut silhouettes common in American and European fashion. Named after the fashion label Acubi Club, which pioneered the style, the look draws on early-2000s Y2K styling, while moving toward more wearable pieces as consumers shift away from high-end maximalism, replacing glossy metallic pastels with neutral tones. Emerging around 2021, Acubi’s global profile was raised by South Korean girl groups: Blackpink, NewJeans and Aespa have worn the look during performances and fashion week appearances. “K-pop functioned less as the origin and...

Pharrell’s Fashion ImpactThe Y2K era of fashion was shaped by the rise of technology, booming club culture, and designers like Tom Ford and Jean Paul Gaultier, sending sleek ripples that reached everyone’s closets. Suddenly, a new ripple in another direction came from Virginia Beach. Tight low-rise jeans were swapped for baggy, sagging denim. Slender tops for pastel hoodies. Futuristic shades to bulbous trucker hats. The culprit? Pharrell Williams.Through the 2000s and even today, Pharrell’s reach was impossible to avoid, sonically and sartorially. In the late ‘90s, men’s fashion was characterized by clean, straightforward outfits like those you’d see on a sitcom. Even the boldness of street style at the time was muted by dull color palettes. Pharrell Williams stepped onto the scene flaunt...

It’s 2018, and my friends and I have been allowed to go into the mall alone for the first time. Our first stop: Hot Topic, long forbidden by our mothers. We gawked at the array of chokers, fishnets, and little frog keychains. I remember lingering over a Korn shirt at the back of the store, and feeling excited over clothing for one of the first times in my life. I suddenly felt like this was where I belonged, and within the black walls, my sense of fashion first took root. Little did I know that just a decade earlier, the same transformation was also happening to thousands of other teens as the store became the birthplace of one of the defining fashions of the Y2K era.The early 2000s saw a surge in nu-metal and industrial music, with bands such as Korn, Slipknot, Kittie, Rammstein, Evanesce...

As in 2025, the first few months of 2026 have seen fashion and retail companies operating in an environment where legal developments increasingly shape day-to-day business decisions, and the same is expected to continue throughout the rest of the year. Tariffs, trade enforcement, and supply‑chain pressures remain a persistent operational reality, even as brands continue to invest heavily in AI, digital commerce, and new consumer‑engagement tools. Simultaneously, regulators and plaintiffs’ attorneys are paying closer attention to e-commerce practices, advertising disclosures, social media and music use, chatbots, and data privacy. Sustainability obligations are expanding through extended producer responsibility programs, per- and polyfluoroalkyl substance (PFAS restrictions, and climate‑...
