Since Elon Musk’s takeover of the platform in late October, drastic changes have been made to the company’s operation and on a user surface level. Mass firings, multiple executive resignations and employees having to sleep at work are some examples of what Twitter has looked like in recent weeks due to Musk’s new management style. If the exploitation and violation of Twitter workers’ rights aren’t enough to make companies think twice, the changes made for users and accounts may well be.

Musk’s decision to remove the verification symbol on Twitter accounts has led to chaos as misinformation has spread by brand impersonations. Companies such as Dyson have removed advertising campaigns from the social media site, along with many others pausing campaigns. Brand reputations and identities have been put at risk for many companies as their promotion campaigns have appeared alongside unwanted tweets which violate children’s rights. This has appeared following Musk’s vision for the platform to enable free speech, which celebrities such as Gigi Hadid have referred to as a place allowing the spread of hatred and bigotry. Along with Hadid, big names such as Jameela Jamil and Sara Bareilles have also removed their Twitter accounts.

However, within the fashion world, Balenciaga is so far the only luxury fashion house to wave goodbye to the chaotic landscape which is now Twitter. So, the question follows whether other fashion brands will follow their lead and step back from the platform or whether they will remain solitary?  Visual platforms tend to be more effective for fashion brands and therefore Twitter may be an easier exit for fashion brands as opposed to other brands.  We can only imagine regarding the scale and pace of changes happening at Twitter that other fashion houses will join Balenciaga in unity.

Madison Beer brings a video clip full of her personality and charisma.

In a perfect cloudy room with an angelic white short dress with a perfect ponytail intact, this pop angel breaks the crystals and falls into an alternate hell where she seeks to fulfill all her wishes with sexy outfits with whom she proclaims her personality.

“Baby” is a video clip with very personal and raw lyrics. It’s Beer’s first project that goes beyond sweet Madison ́s style and made a statement of her comeback and the level of her actual confidence and empowerment.

Madison Beer- Baby (Official Music Video)

It is a song that breaks the sexual barriers that female singers have in the musical business and Beer opened a free way for girls to speak without shyness.

This project is part of her next debut album, Life Support, and is a call of confidence, sensuality, and courage. It is a video inspired by the toxicity that the internet can be and is written by Madison after being cancelled on social networks and in search of breaking stereotypes. She wants to transmit strength and empowerment in the company of other attractive women who have also been cancelled and proclaim themselves with the artist with strength and personal confidence.

We cannot deny her authentic style and sensuality. From a sexy bodysuit with a metallic embellished leather dress and gold chains with thigh-high boots. Or a puff sleeve blazer, an upcoming trend of 20/20 A / W or with a black balconette bra and black platform heels that stylize her figure and dance.

̈Baby ̈ is already causing a sensation and already has more than 3 million views on YouTube and 1.28 million streams on Spotify. It is a tune with which Beer shows us that she is in control of her present and future and makes us clear that she returned stronger than ever and ready to stay.

You look too good to stop girl! At Voir, we feel and share your confidence. Words by Cami Martinez

It is rare almost uncommon to spot the e-girl in the real world her dominion is the internet.Little is known of the true origin of the E-girl but like every person, she is a product of the evolution of many subcultures. In the 1960s and 70s, we had the punks who were majorly situated in London and were formed as a political rebellion on status. Later in the 80s to the 2000s were the emos and goths mostly in America. Across the world in the 90s and 2000, there was an emerging trend of the Harajuku girls made popular into the western culture by Gwen Stephani, theirs was an imitation of girls from Japanese anime.

The E-girl is an evolution of all this subculture her medium of influence being the internet.The beauty of the E girl lies in her ever-blushing face as her blush lies animated all across her unnaturally freckled face. Her eyeliner is thick and black and winged out. Her eyeshadow of choice is almost always a soft pastel colour. The main beauty mark of the E-girl is her heart-shaped tears painted below her eyes. The main theme of the e-girl beauty look is to look cute and edgy at the same time. These themes have been taken from the Harajuku girls and emo.

The E-girl style consists of a short circle skirt and a striped long-sleeved t-shirt usually worn alone or under a larger shirt. Her clothes are usually thrifted most probably from Depop. Her clothing style consists of a mixture of subcultures the layering from skater style and the pleated skirt from anime characters. Her jewellery consists of more edgy punk themes like pins for earrings chokers and sometimes some face piercings to each e-girl her ownThe increased use of TikTok has led to the rise of the e girl whit trends on TikTok showing videos of transformations into the E-girl so grab you’re your striped long-sleeved your padlock necklace put on some blush and let’s all be E-girls.

It was a normal day in isolation when a New York photographer decided to shoot the roofs of his neighbouring buildings from his balcony. It was also another normal day in isolation when a girl, tired of her days blending together while sitting on the couch, decided to go onto her roof and learn the choreography of the high school musical song, ‘We’re All In This Together’. It is then that Jeremy Cohen the NewYork-based photographer spots Tori Cignarella. Fascinated by her Jeremy decides to shoot his shot – writes his number on a piece of paper, attaches it to his drone and fly it towards her. “Text me,” the note said and so she did.The recent Corona outbreak has swept the world at a devastating speed forcing most countries into a nation-wide quarantine to prevent the spread of the virus and protect their residents. This quarantine has also left many of us craving human interaction more than ever before. So, when Jeremy Cohen sent out his drone to connect with the girl from across the street, what followed became a viral sensation of a traditional meet-cute.Later for their first date, Jeremy surprised Tori with a dinner date at the roof of her building. The only catch was that he was in the building across the street with a similar set up on his balcony and thanks to facetime they managed to have a successful date. For their second date, Jeremy decided on a face to face meeting hoping she wouldn’t pop his bubble. Tori was surprised to see Jeremy in a human-sized plastic hamster ball with flowers and the luxury gift of hand sanitiser. Adhering to the social distancing rules they managed to have another successful dateTheir whole love story was filmed and posted on the internet and as we all know if you don’t post it, did it really happen? A reflection of the social media generation that shows just how far Man will go to find love even in an isolated place. So, if you can’t get a text back, he is probably not the one for you.
