VOIR FASHION: The Story Behind the Brand

In 2011 four creatives set their stall out to create Voir Fashion (Digital) Magazine.

 

We would be daring and different, adventurous and avant-garde – free from the constraints of commercial magazines.
 

We chose a strong visual language

with bold typography, arresting imagery

and vibrant colour to create an

international brand identity.

We became fascinated in the journeys-to-success of influencers more so than the headlines.

 

We took every opportunity to photograph them in our unique way and tell their stories to inspire our readers.

Showcasing Beauty

Our take on modern beauty meant  pushing the boundaries of mainstream perspectives to showcase inclusion and diversity.

 

Our imagery caught the eye, we introduced illustration and we shouted our message loud and clear –daring to be different!

Voir Fashion was always underpinned by female empowerment, but Issue 20 – Autumn/Winter 2017 was dedicated entirely to this.

​

Singer/songwriter Raye – an up-and-coming artist became Voir's brand ambassador and Cover Star. Her light hadn't fully shone yet. 

​

The rest is history as 2024 saw Raye scoop six BRIT Awards.

Our trend edits and fashion stories were always given a stylish treatment before publication.

​

Street style became a phenomenon and was duly reflected in how we laid out our pages in an quirky way.

Editorial Wonderland

Two elements underscored our editorial features and stories. No typographical rules, and images with impact.

​

We cut through letters, tightly cropped images, played with angles, introduced emotion and inspired engagement. Our tribe found us and not the other way round.

​

We delivered strong concepts and we believe we started fresh conversations.

Voir Fashion Magazine was the visual foundation for Luke Walwyn Studio.
It was my playground to execute my love of fashion communication and visual storytelling, with one caveat: the eye has to travel.


My creative team and I were able to experiment with photography, typography, layout and creative perspectives. There was no right or wrong way to communicate because we had found our platform to express our daring and our difference.
