Bags With Character

We can all agree that everyone wants to have a bag that no one else has, and the SS25 runways were full of unique gems. From Coach to Versace we saw so many cool styles for the Voir readers to know about, with many designers steering away from safe options. Whether it’s a fringe moment or a wild colour combination, you’re bound to stand out.

Sporty Chic

Sportswear is working its way more and more into the fashion world as we see a multitude of collabs with fashion houses ever year, such as Jacquemus and Dior recently. The fresh silhouettes pair with the durability of sportswear for a unique fusion look or can lean heavily towards the sportswear aesthetic with a baggier design, creating a remarkable versatility.

Fringes

Bohemian chic is back and Voir loves the throwback in time on the runways. Whether it reminds you of Glastonbury or you just love the motion of the fabric this is going to be a go-to for Spring. The loose fringes are a match for any garment – tops, skirts and even hats you have a plethora of choice.

Plaid

Plaid captures the essence of Britishness. Burberry and Vivienne Westwood starting it off for us Brits and now we have it in abundance from many brands. Working on any garment, it is so easy to style all year round, not just for Spring but it takes styling work. Try it with plain colours that match one of the squares and you can’t go wrong with this classic print.

Sailor Core

Will sailor core be the big new trend in 2025? It’s looking very likely. Stripes and fishnets aren’t just for boat trips, they’re for every day. This minimalistic print is subtle but speaks volumes on Rabanne’s runway, and Alaïa creates a playful glimpse of what’s beneath with their use of fishnet. This trend is undoubtedly versatile.

Utility

Wasn’t it TikTok who said #womeninmalefields? Women can do anything and it’s time for a spin on utility wear and for it to filter into the fashion world. Cheryl Cole was the first and Voir is obsessed with this trend. This cool girl style mixed with army core creates a sexy and poweful woman.

One Leg Out

One leg in and one leg out is a trend that graced many runways for SS25, and all the big fashion houses did it, from Coperni to Bottega Veneta and Louis Vuitton. This interesting concept creates a unique play on trousers and overall gives an indoor-outdoor vibe and will definitely make heads turn this coming season.

Colourful Coats

It’s been done before and that’s because it works. It’s time to switch up your classic black puffer and add some vibrancy into that wardrobe. The trend is great for spring as it offers a cheerful vibe and unapologetically lets you make a bold and confident statement.

When it comes to fall fashion, some things just make sense together—pumpkin spice and cozy sweaters, chilly days and chunky scarves, and this season, fall and the stunning hue that is burgundy.

Burgundy is having a major moment in fashion right now, and its presence on the Autumn/Winter 2024 runways has been impossible to miss. From head to toe, this rich, deep color has been spotted everywhere, whether in garments, accessories, beauty products, or handbags. If you’re looking for a color that can elevate your look while exuding elegance and warmth, burgundy is the one for this season.

Burgundy State of Mind

This season’s fashion tour is awash with shades of burgundy. From deep cherry tones to warm, brown-infused reds, it has infused the runway shows from brands like Bottega Veneta, Gucci, and Saint Laurent with an irresistible sense of luxury and richness. You’ll see burgundy gracing everything from headbands and nail polish to stunning shoes and tailored coats. This color serves as the perfect way to add a velvet touch to any outfit, and it’s versatile enough to be both sophisticated and bold.

Whether you’re going for a full burgundy ensemble or simply incorporating burgundy accessories into your look, you’ll be radiating that girl energy all season long.

Nailed It: Burgundy Nails

If you’re not quite ready for head-to-toe burgundy, why not dip your fingers into the trend? Burgundy nails are the season’s hottest manicure choice, adding just the right amount of drama to any outfit.

Celebrities like Kylie Jenner have already made a statement with dark cherry or brown- red hues, bringing a mix of boldness and elegance to their fingertips.

Whether you’re into short, square nails or long, almond-shaped ones, a rich burgundy polish adds a touch of sophistication and attitude. Here are some shades you can try to get that perfect fall manicure:

Burgundy in my plate

Burgundy isn’t just a color to wear—it’s also a color to savor.

This season, we’re loving the inclusion of deep red fruits like mulberries, grapes, and figs in our diets. Rich in antioxidants, these fruits are perfect for keeping your body healthy while giving your skin a natural glow. So while you’re rocking your burgundy outfit, don’t forget to indulge in the health benefits of these gorgeous, seasonal fruits.

Burgundy is more than just a color this season—it’s a vibe. From bold nail polish to head- to-toe outfits, this versatile hue will have you standing out and feeling elegant all autumn long. With its balance of depth, warmth, and richness, burgundy is undeniably the it color of Autumn/Winter 2024. Whether you’re a trendsetter or someone looking to refresh your wardrobe, there’s no doubt that embracing burgundy will keep you on top of the fashion game this season.

The post Burgundy Frenzy: Autumn/Winter’s Hottest Colour appeared first on Voir Fashion.

This is the first time a supermodel will be the subject of a V&A retrospective, but that title seems to fall short – historical icon fits Campbell better. She’s expanded from fashion to philanthropy, film production, activism, and art direction, which are all set to be included. We’ll see a different side of picture-perfect Naomi, one that joined the Black Girls Coalition in 1989, campaigns for more diversity on the catwalk, and was heavily inspired by Nelson Mandela.

Retrospective is just as small a label as Supermodel; the mononymous icon still makes headlines with her style, is a runway regular, and just designed a collection for Pretty Little Thing.

With ‘Naomi’, 100 carefully curated looks and a photography installation will take us on a journey through her closet— and fashion history. The garments featured are from Campbell’s personal collection and archive pieces loaned by designers. The exhibition will see an unprecedented close involvement from the subject herself, who said she’s “honoured to be asked by the V&A to share my life in clothes with the world”.

Curator Sonnet Stanfill has said that this overwhelmingly extensive collection is not the main challenge, but rather that they could be adding looks right “up until the day before the exhibition”. But even some stars shine brighter than others, and the looks below? They’re sure to be included. after all, they’re as close to the sun as fashion moments get.

1993

This lilac Chanel suit she wore on the October 1993 runway is one of the only looks confirmed by the V&A. The exhibition will follow the current retrospective dedicated to Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel, so this proves to be a seamless transition.

2019

Her 2019 Met Gala dress by Valentino is the second confirmed look, which makes sense given that it’s the same year Campbell won the Fashion Icon of the Year Award.

1991

The exhibition will give us an insider look at her life, as told from Naomi’s voice. With this deeply personal nature, we expect to see plenty of Azzedine Alaïa, whom she called Papa and had a father-daughter relationship with. This mesh leopard catsuit with ruffle cuffs from Autumn/Winter 1991 was one of her most iconic runway moments; signature smirk included.

1991

A Versace look from the Versace muse will undoubtedly make an appearance. Not only was designer Gianni Versace a dear friend of Naomi but also the creator of the supermodel status. In this spring/summer 1991 dress, she delivered the soon-to-be signature strut that made her one of the 90s original supermodels alongside the likes of Claudia Schiffer and Cindy Crawford. The Big Five remain just as historically significant as they were in their heyday too: Apple TV+ just released a documentary about them, Vogue reunited the girl group for this year’s September issue, and they closed the Vogue World London event hand-in-hand.

1999

One of the most iconic duos of the 90s, Kate Moss and Naomi Campbell’s friendship reigned the decade while becoming the faces of a generation. They loved partying, champagne, and shimmering Versace dresses (‘wagons’ are their self-assigned nicknames for each other because it means drunk in Irish), so this look from the brand’s Diamonds are Forever event will hopefully be included. The mini dress shows off Campbell’s fashion prowess, with her wearing the sparkly butterflies before it became a Y2K trend.

1993

The supermodel’s fall in 12-inch platforms during the Vivienne Westwood 1993 show is one of the most defining moments of her career. Naomi’s self-deprecating smile post-stumble grazed the cover of magazines for weeks after, and the flounce of the boa right after was what enamored the world with her. The supermodel has confessed that some designers even ask her to recreate the fall. In an interview with Westwood, she said: “A couple of people, designers, asked me if I would fall for them. And I was like, ‘Why would you want me to fall unnecessarily?!’ ‘Press! The press that you got!’ But it wasn’t planned!”.

1997

Attending the 1997 MTV Music Video Awards, Naomi wore ’The Paris Hilton Dress’ years before the hotel heiress ever did. This sparkly mini dress belongs to her personal Versace collection, a keepsake that for her represents a fond memory, but for the world? It’s fashion history. Alongside this getup, curator Stanfill has confirmed we should expect a myriad of dresses, including designs from Chanel, Dolce & Gabbana, Jean Paul Gaultier, John Galliano, Karl Lagerfeld, and Virgil Abloh.

1998

In head-to-toe Louis Vuitton, this look shows the more casual style of Naomi (barring the private jet in the background) as she arrived in Paris for the season. From the sunglasses to the massive logomania bags, this look oozes 90s.

1995

Another one of the most significant moments from her runway career, Naomi showcased her feral energy for Thierry Mugler’s autumn/winter 1995 show. This wasn’t just a walk through an elevated platform, it was a performance that showed the difference between model and supermodel.

2023

In her most recent runway moment (for now), Campbell closed Sarah Burton’s last show for Alexander McQueen during the Spring Summer 2024 season in Paris. A longtime collaborator of the brand and dear friend of Burton, this proved to be an emotional moment for not only her but the fashion industry as a whole.

Following the death of the Queen, various runway shows, and events were cancelled in London Fashion Week S/S 2023 due to national morning restrictions. As such, many designers and labels have chosen to reschedule their much anticipated défilé to Frieze week, which features a number of shows, events, and happenings (imagine it as a sort of fashion week mark five situation). The British Fashion Council’s big-ticket events, which are officially dubbed “Celebrating London Fashion Week,” include runway presentations by Alexander McQueen, Roksanda, and Raf Simons—the latter two of whom were originally scheduled to appear on the official London Fashion Week schedule last month.

Roksanda Ilincic

Roksanda Ilincic’s bold sculptural garments were displayed in Hyde Park’s Serpentine Gallery. In showing a collection during Frieze week, Roksanda Ilincic feels natural; she has had strong ties to the art world throughout her career, both as a collector and as a collaborator (last season, she collaborated with Eva Rothschild on the show’s geometrically coloured set).

An ode to art seemed to be the theme of this show, from inspiring the vivid outfits to the setting of the show. Roksanda displayed her collection inside Theaster Gates’ ‘Black Chapel’, an art installation, that was unveiled earlier this year. The Black Chapel is known as a place of contemplation and conviviality, a perfect setting for Roksanda’s own journey – choosing this location was a conscious decision by Ilincic because it invoked the unexpected yet meaningful emotions of death.

The collection featured voluminous, cascading gowns with 3D details that resembled abstract roses blooming, the silhouettes included exaggerated sleeves and flowing dresses that moved swiftly as the model strutted on the catwalk. It’s almost like each model served as a canvas with a variety of artistic techniques being incorporated into this collection. From swirling patterns that looked like diaphanous paintings on satin and silk to garments with black and yellow abstract lines that hinted at oriental influences.

There was an emphasis on showcasing Roksanda’s diversity with tailored pantsuits, swaggering full-length coats, and slim draped dresses among the show-stopping garments of this collection.

Alexander McQueen

As Sarah Burton unveiled her new collection for Alexander McQueen on the banks of the Thames, Greenwich, under a huge plastic bubble dome.

With images of Dutch artist Hieronymus Bosch woven into her body-conscious and sleek tailored collection, Burton paid homage to the late designer she worked with for years. McQueen apparently enjoyed Bosch’s restlessly imaginative works, which often depicted religious scenes and flourishing natural worlds teeming with human violence.

This is not the first time that the artist has served as a muse for the house of Alexander McQueen. In McQueen’s ‘Angels & Demons’ collection for Autumn-Winter 2010-11, paintings from the late 15th and early 16th centuries were woven into the designs- the collection was the final one designed by McQueen himself.

Burton, however, took a different approach this time. Hers was a vibrant, collaged print used for cut-out catsuits, a bodysuit with a half skirt attached, and a sculptural, strapless gown. The way that she approached the silhouettes was also different from previously seen collections, she says “it’s always about a woman dressing for a woman. It’s not a male gaze.”

It was titled ‘First Sight’, and it was centred on the concept of ‘searching for humanity’. Burton recalls the collection to be “a symbol of that humanity, a register of emotion, an expression– the human eye”. The motif of the human eye recurred throughout the collection, whether it was embroidered in shimmering sequins or crystals across a catsuit.

The collection was laden with seductive outfits. The gowns featured cut-outs that revealed whole legs, jackets with backless or slashed inlets that revealed pelvic muscles, and ultra-low-rise trousers played off of McQueen’s original ‘bumster’ designs (the extremely low-rise trousers, first shown for SS94).

Burton also aimed to empower wearers with clothes that were stripped back, dissected and focused on cut, drape, and silhouette, bringing together sliced-away tailoring and low-waist trousers – the show was reaping with influences from Lee McQueen’s previous shows and also made homage to the designers structured denim two-sets and armour-like leather bustiers.

Adding a final touch to the show was an evocation of Hieronymus Bosch’s works.

Raf Simons

The Raf Simons fashion/rave party experience finally arrived in London.

The designer presented both his Spring/Summer 2023 collection at London’s Printworks nightclub and continued the night with a built-in afterparty during Frieze, the art fair Simons is actually a patron of.

For SS23, Raf Simons presented an edgy and sensual collection fit for a night at Printworks. “I think it’s actually the barest, most minimal collection I’ve ever done,” the designer said in an ES interview.

The collection may have been minimal, but the atmosphere was quite the opposite. The nightclub, an old newspaper printing factory that had been transformed into a bar, had almost 1,000 people crammed inside.

There were rows of guests seated on the elevated stage, close enough to see every detail of Simons’ fabrics. This collection brought back memories of McQueen’s FW97 collection “It’s a Jungle Out There,” which saw people sit or stand on the floor of a warehouse, a ‘ravey’ and nostalgic experience.

The collection itself was one of Simons’ most diverse to date. Under the ambient lighting of a techno nightclub, the SS23 collection mixed rave influences with ’80s punk references and subverted tailoring.

Hot pants and polka dot prints adorned the arms and legs of the co-ed collection, along with neon hues and skin-tight leggings. Additionally, some Berghain leather influences were evident in the runway boots, while the belted playsuits and technical details accentuated the submissive sense of design that he learned from Prada.

In a preppy trend, we saw tiny knitted tops transform into romper suits. Bringing back the underground elements were fishnets (used in over-the-shoulder bags and skimpy tops) and leather oversized biker jackets that reflected punk and glam rock styles.

The collection continued to surprise the audience, as shorts were pleated on the side to reveal slits filled with contrasting fabrics. A sense of innocence was once again provided by tanks made from thin, raw-edged cotton, while now-signature details like the skeleton cuff or bold use of alpaca wool added more punk undertones.

The show occurred outside of the bounds of recent fashion weeks, placing emphasis on McQueen’s connection to London as the place where his work began. Speaking to Vogue, Burton also explained skies as her source of inspiration for this collection, with previous campaigns referencing earth at the Thames riverbank. The sky acts as a source of sunshine and happiness, contrasting to the turbulence and unexpected turns the weather can take, which directly relates to the dichotomy often explored in Alexander McQueen shows.

A formal blazer dress, including leg of mutton sleeves and a deflated-style bustle attachment with draped ribbons, opened the show in the McQueen fashion of tradition and subversion. Burton’s personal influences were highlighted in inflated, cloud-like sleeves, and abstract blue and white prints resembling cloud formations. Soft colour palettes of pale blues, greys and whites blended naturally into the background tones of silver, glistening skyscrapers and the sunny skies of London. Some garments included direct prints of clouds, particularly this was most effective on a subtle, black swing dress with stark white clouds emerged from the bottom hem.

Considering nature as something we live alongside, Sarah Burton also shared her concern for peaceful interactions rather than human domination of the earth. By using chrome-free leather, upcycled fabrics and recycled polyester taffeta, McQueen took a step in the right direction to reconsider how our clothes impact the environment.

Structured, tailored suits juxtaposed tulle gowns in pastel yellow, white and bright pink. Similarly, contrasts were created through differing fabrics of leather, latex, tulle and chiffon coming together in a-line dresses. A series of black leather and blue denim looks were also impactful, incorporating multiple heavy fabrics to create strong, tailored silhouettes, accentuated with metal details like zips and belts.

A series of elaborate looks closed the shows, these included a blazer literally dripping in jewels (a reference to historic English monarchical portraits), mixtures of sheer chiffon with layers of fabrics fluttering in the wind, and finally three all-black looks with stark detailing of silver crystals. Naomi Campbell closed the show in a chic, cropped blazer with detailing above the hem of chunky crystals, paired with a full tulle skirt and tights layered with draped, dripping jewels.

Alexander McQueen’s show was attractive, chic and wearable – a practical exploration to make something as overwhelming as the sky digestible into individual looks. Unplanned storms and glimpses of sunshine could be seen throughout the collection, incorporating the whim of nature into the tailored, creative process of making garments at McQueen.

The post GET THE LOOK: How to Add Shine to Your Autumn Wardrobe for Your Best Metallic Moments appeared first on Voir Fashion.

Charlotte Lawrence is one of our favourite artists of the moment, and probably yours too. The 19 years old singer who was born and raised in L.A is carving her path with catchy pop melodies and relatable lyrics. Her music is the perfect getaway from reality, with a laid-back style and her enchanting voice she creates songs that make a difference.

It isn’t uncommon to see artists using their music to share a message, but Charlotte redefined the use of art as a form of social expression and is shifting the music landscape. She believes that an artist has to create content that represents the times that we live in and respects this with every single one of her creations while combining it with sounds that stand out from the usual pop melody.

When looking into her biggest inspirations it’s interesting to see how much they can vary, from fashion ones being Shia Lebouf and Jonah Hill to her music ones including Prince and Damien Rice. This diversity is reflected in both her music and her persona. She is a modern pop star who’s not afraid of trying things out, and this kind of inspires us to do the same. Her style can vary from innocent and romantic to transgressive and rebellious, challenging the idea of a single and monotone genre, but the amazing part is that it remains genuine, always matching her character and feelings.

Charlotte Lawrence- Why Do You Love Me via Charlotte Lawrence Youtube

Reasonably so, her music has gone viral worldwide, charting everywhere from the United States to France and being featured in blockbuster movies like ‘Birds of Prey’ and Netflix series ‘ 13 Reasons Why’. But everything started with her EP ‘Young’ released in 2018 with songs like ‘Sleep Talking’ that made us all fall in love with the artist but even more with her creative process. You would expect that an artist with such incredible work goes through the most complicated and nerve-wracking creative process but Charlotte describes it otherwise, she finds inspiration from the simplest things and gathers up her ideas in the most traditional of ways. “A guitar, a pencil, a paper, and Facetime call” is all that she needs to come up with her hit songs, as recently explained in an interview with V Magazine.

Charlotte is one of those artists that’s not afraid of opening up in her music. Whether it’s about her experience with love as in “Why Do You Love Me” or regarding the current state of our world and the contribution of our decisions as in “God Must Be Doing Cocaine” she always has something to say and the best part is that we can easily identify with it. That’s a vital element for her, something that she has recurrently made clear is that what she looks for in every song and most of her favourite artists, no matter the genre, is meaning, every song needs lyrics that matter and express something. They’re songs that help you stop and think and represent the right change from superficial and commercial music.

Her collaborations perfectly prove this, having worked with YUNGBLUD, Kaskade, JP Saxe, and many others. We can assure you that even if you’re not a fan of pop music you might fall in love with at least one of her songs, her vision, or with her as an artist overall. So we suggest you check out her latest single “Slow Motion” and its cinematic music video, that tease her upcoming album and prove that even under quarantine and a global crisis there’s always a way to create, and nothing will distance her from creating music that matters.

Brave, indomitable, and oh so romantic, the house of Alexander McQueen never ceases to impress. With the latest launch of the Pre-Autumn/Winter collection, Creative Director Sarah Burton takes us on a trip to the Welsh Countryside –without forgetting that magical touch of McQueen fantasy along the way.

Intrinsically British, the inspiration for the collection is derived from the British Art Nouveau and Arts and Craft Movement whilst also drawing upon Welsh Heritage and Northern Landscapes. Taking us back to the fundamentals of nature, and in true McQueen style, we are reminded of the fantasy that lays beneath the surface if we look close enough. The House notes their inspiration from the “core of the earth and the treasures beneath its surface”: this treasure being something every fashion-lover strives for.

An indulgent array of earthy tones: hints of silver, copper, and glistening gold, the collection is luxurious to the eye. With a sharp tailored gold suit flaunting down the catwalk in the Autumn/Winter 2020 show, which is available to watch on the McQueen site, it is difficult to control our excitement. The connection to nature was kept alive during the show with fleeting nature sounds and a reading from the work of Welsh poet, Dylan Thomas. We can only admire the immense consideration and work that has gone into the collection, right down to every small detail.

Photographed in the atmospheric countryside, the seductive red of asymmetric sculpted knitwear and satin gowns is warming against a crisp landscape. Ranging from daytime looks: longline tweed jackets, flattering peg trousers or midi knits, to extravagant evening dresses, every look stands out. Even the more subtle, darker pieces, allure with statement accessories, be it a chunky gold earing or belt, boots with gold detail, or a necklace resembling a jewel pulled straight from Mother Earth.

Amongst this extravagance, Sarah Burton retains that heartening feel amongst a patchwork of Welsh blankets, which she describes as a “sense of protection in the clothes, of safety and comfort”. A McQueen Woman can feel courageous and powerful, whilst retaining that sense of homeliness and comfort that admittedly we all need from time to time.

We simply love how the Pre – Autumn/Winter 2020 collection is taking us back to our true home: Mother Earth and is a reminder of that natural inspiration that the McQueen House is so lovingly adored for. As with every McQueen collection, the romance is more alive than ever, and it is safe to say we have fallen in love all over again.

As we continue and go on with our death to the jeans or anything restrictive tour our next stop the top indoor trend Matching sets. From colour blocking to the monochromatic fashion of the outside now, we have the matching set trend of the indoors. As we go into an additional three weeks, it is time to recognise this as our new normal and get into this trend.

It’s about matching print and colour.

Set: Oh Lydia Pink Power Undies (£19)

Slippers: UGG Fluff Yeah Logo Slide (£100)

Socks: Adidas White, Pink and Red Mid Cut Crew Socks (£13.00)

Mug: Yes Studio Mug, I Did Not (£ 7.16)

For a true matching set, the aim is for the outfit to look like it was initially cut from the same material and made into two garments. To get this level of matching you almost always have to purchase the clothing together, but you may get lucky and find a matching set in your closer

Matching with solid colours

Joggers: OFF WHITE Tie-dye track pants (£441)

Top: Pretty Little Thing Black Tie-dye rib racer vest (£12)

Bandana: ASOS DESIGN paisley print bandana in pink (£3.60)

Glasses: DIOR EYEWEAR Oversized square sunglasses(£287)

Necklace: Brandy Melville Gold baby nameplate necklace ($12)

Another way you can create your own matching set is by pairing print with a similar solid colour. If you own a printed top or bottom and you would like to get into the trend how about you match that printed top or bottom with a similar coloured bottom. The trick to getting the look you have to make sure the colour in the top has to be an exact match to the bottom and the solid colour garment has to be simple with no print.

Pyjamas or matching set.

Gown: MARJOLAINE Jaguar silk-satin dressing gown (£295)

Set: SHEIN Leopard Print Lace Trim Cami PJ Set. (£10.99)

Shoes: EGO Marilyn Faux Feather Pointed Toe Pyramid Heel Mule In Black Faux Suede (£19.99)

As you are beginning to notice the guide behind attaining the matching set is similar to the guide to your pyjama sets. So, the question is, Is it a loungewear matching set or Pyjama. Even before we were stuck inside the trend of silk or cotton looking pyjama sets was already out there. Take a look into your closet and find that silk pyjama with the matching robe and you will find that it is equally appropriate for the rest of your house as it is for the bedroom.

Vary the material.

Shorts: Public Desire relaxed jogger shorts co-ord (£17.99)

Top: 4th + Reckless knitted crop top with bust cup detail in white (£28)

Shoes: Alexander Mcqueen Tread Slick high-top sneakers (£490)

Necklace Orelia Chunky chain necklace (£22)

Earings: Orelia Oval Hoop Earrings (£18)

The last way you can create a matching set is to wear different garments of different material and fabric but the exact same colour. Although this is more into the monochrome fashion trend, it also resembles a matching set, and it makes it easier for you to join in.

Create your own matching set

If you do not want to purchase something new and you want to create a matching set of your own here is a way to do it. For sweats other than just matching the colour you can create a print on both sections of the sweatsuit by using tie-dye, but you have to be careful the print looks similar or continuous. You can also create an ombre effect by blending a colour into white using bleach, which may be a bit harder.
