Issue 33 - Sabrina Bahsoon Cover 1 Singles 145

Welcome to Issue 33!

Voir Fashion is much more than just a fashion magazine. Voir is a platform for change.

In a society where we are only just accepting those for who they are, I want to remind our readers that, Voir is here to empower, inspire and encourage you. Dare to be different, dare to be fearless and, dare to be unique; whether it be launching that dream business, going for that job promotion or, just being true to yourself and seizing your moment. That’s right, we’re not only talking about the way you express your fashion and beauty but also, your life choices.

A lack of cultural representation and self-expression in the fashion industry became a huge part of why I launched Voir in 2013. I never saw people that looked like me on the front cover of magazines and, I struggled to relate to them and their stories. So, I launched Voir Fashion magazine; a platform that represents women of different backgrounds with inspiring stories. Being a brown, female, business founder, in a male dominated industry has come with many challenging experiences, from raising investment to the simplicity of staying motivated. To that I say, I’m so lucky I get to work with inspiring women, on a regular basis, just like our two cover stars. Yes, we have two major cover stars for Issue 33!

Known to millions as Tube Girl, Sabrina Bahsoon embodies self-expression, fearless confidence, and modern-day glamour. Sabrina is not just a viral sensation but, a cultural force of nature with 800,000 TikTok followers who have viewed her trending Tube dance. Transforming the Tube from a daily commute into a literal stage for stars, Sabrina makes her own rules! We caught up with Sabrina days before the launch of her new single “Mine”. In an exciting interview and 15-page cover shoot, featuring all new season fashion on the streets of London.

Speaking of icons, imagine breaking a world record as the first female to win Eurovision. Our cover star, Lorine Zeineb Nora Talhaoui, professionally known as Loreen has done it twice, winning in 2012 and 2023. After an insane photoshoot where Loreen dripped in confidence and flare, we spoke to her about life after the Eurovision and what is up next for the superstar. Loreen teases about a new album she is working on with some exciting collaborative artists.

At this time of year, we often spend a lot of time scrolling through social media looking at fashion icons for style inspiration for the coming winter months. I decided to collaborate with vintage Baddie, Activist and Author, Hana Mahmood, on a 20-page fashion edit of ‘all Hana Approved’ looks, where her excellent eye for finding vintage designer pieces, mixed elegantly with her own style created the perfect style mood board. You can’t go wrong with statement vintage accessories and handbags to really elevate your winter wardrobe. Hana left us with her best tips when sourcing vintage fashion.

Click To Shop, Voir’s specially curated fashion and beauty looks of Issue 33; featuring brands like Chanel, Guess, Michael Kors and many more.

Time to be Voired.

THE VINTAGE EDIT: Hana Mahmood’s Style Story

34

Photography by AMY PESKETT Styling & Creative Direction by JYOTI MATOO Voir Fashion caught up with vintage baddie, activist and author, Hana Mahmood to find out how she created her timeless wardrobe over the last few years. Her excellent eye for finding vintage designer pairs elegantly with her own style as seen on her perfectly curated Instagram and TikTok, both with a large following of eager vintage fans.

She collaborated with Voir as we shot her in ‘all Hana approved’ looks.

Hana told Voir that her style is currently new-classic as she keeps up with current trends giving herself a bold look and always mixing it with a classic timeless piece. “Whether it’s vintage pieces, vintage jewellery, the way I style my hair and make-up, I love the silhouettes that vintage fashion brings.” Hana loves combining her vintage flair with current fashion because of the contrast that it creates. “I like every outfit I wear to say look at me, and then look again and notice the details.” She prides herself in not blending in and “whether I’m over-dressed – there’s no such thing” she says, the big furs, six-inch

heels and mountains of gold jewellery are the main details for her. “I’m a Leo rising, so it only makes sense that I like the attention”, she jokes.

Marilyn Monroe, Elizabeth Taylor, and Grace Kelly are her vintage style icons, along with Türkan Şoray, “She’s just so beautiful, I love how she does her makeup and I take a lot of inspiration from her.”

Hana hesitates when thinking of newer style icons. “I feel like I am my own style icon”, she says, “but my inspiration is really just coming from beautiful aesthetics from timeless beauties.” Hana really is channelling her inner confidence as she is well on her way to become one of vintage fashion’s most known names. “And of course, we can’t talk about style icons without mentioning Rihanna.” Growing up Hana admired Rihanna’s unapologetic and fearless attitude in her outfits.

“I loved her contrasts when she would do heels with joggers”, feeling like Rihanna taught her how to be a fashion rulebreaker. That’s how this fashion baddie was born and Voir can’t get enough of her style.

Click To SHOP As someone who has built up her fashion name and following, Hana loves people who do something different “even if it looks a little bit off at first, I’m like yes that’s a reflection of your mind.” She thinks it’s beautiful when someone is so unapologetic about how they dress, and if you’ve been following Hana for a while, you will know that is what her feed is made up of.

So where did her love for vintage fashion begin? Let’s take it back a few years when a sisterly figure in her life opened her eyes to the world of Depop. Hana admittedly said that her style was in an era of fast fashion back then “and I was like god how am I ever gonna enter this world of vintage fashion.” Hana felt the daunting side of it “it just seemed like an endless ocean, where do I even begin?”

For all the inspiring vintage dressers here, we can all agree this is a sign to persevere with your style as we admire where Hana is today and how much work she put into creating her dream wardrobe. “It was Depop that I became obsessed with first”, says Hana remembering how in awe she was when she first saw the beautiful pieces listed on there. “I noticed that all the pieces weren’t as dull as fashion now and the same copy and paste”, she loved that vintage fashion meant she wasn’t on Instagram wearing all the same things as everyone else. “I really wanted to break free from that.”

For Hana vintage fashion means there are endless possibilities thanks to rare pieces and collectors’ items which are hard to source, “they all tell such a story.” Aside from shopping on Depop, Chanel is Hana’s all-time favourite brand. “I was drawn to it”, as with vintage Chanel, and even with Dior, she mentions, compared to other brands, they are just on a different level, “it has a great story”. But with Chanel, “some of their vintage pieces [are just] so poised and pretty”, from the stitchwork to the colours and artwork “they have such a range particularly in their vintage.” Chanel itself has stayed very true to the brand since the beginning “you know Chanel”, the pearls, the quilted leather, we all know when we see a Chanel item regardless of whether its vintage or new. “It screams luxury, it screams I’m well put together, and it screams I made effort.”

46

Hana left us with her best tips when sourcing vintage fashion. “100% start on Depop and Vinted.” She tells Voir that liking and interacting with uploads and posts on there creates a tailored feed for you of recommended items, “this will be your gold-mine.” She recommends reaching out to sellers along with not being afraid to negotiate. “Have a look out for online archives [and] check where [a seller] originally bought theirs from.” Hana tells us she frequently finds archives with hundreds of pages of items which are priced really well.

Lastly, Hana’s best tip is to create relationships with the sellers and vintage dealers “because they will come to you first and they know your style”, giving you first pick of an item you were looking for because they have those connections.

Words by JULIA SUŁKOWSKA

Between Yin and Yang, or the Dynamic Balance: According to Loreen

She did it twice. T w i c e. And was the first woman to do so. To call it outstanding would be an understatement. “The second [Eurovision] win was one of the most spiritual experiences I’ve ever had in my life,” says Lorine Zeineb Nora Talhaoui, professionally known as Loreen. Hitting the charts with her single “Tattoo”, she won the 2023 contest in Liverpool, eleven years after the finale in Baku, which proved to be life-changing for her. On how Eurovision has affected her life, what role it played in her journey towards self-love and self-acceptance, her latest projects, and her “nomadic blood coming to life”, we talk on a call shortly after our electrifying photoshoot.

Meanwhile, Loreen is already off to Iceland, working on, as she reveals, a project with Olafur Arnalds, about which she claims to be more than excited. Hard work and “trust[ing] your gut feeling” – this is Loreen.

Let’s go back to 2012. Can she even recall what she thought at the moment it turned out she absolutely slayed the contest with her “Euphoria” (with score 372, outdoing the runner-up by over 100 points)? “The first thing that came into my mind was ‘what the f*ck is happening!’ [laughs] … I couldn’t really take it in; it took me many months before I understood who I was, you know.” But apart from the emotions of disbelief, mixed with excitement, for Loreen it was a turning point in her approach to what she does: “it was the first time I [was] like … ‘I’m gonna really go with what my gut feeling and intuition are telling me in terms of how it needs to look creatively.’ You have to understand, I’d had so many people against me, like ‘what do you mean you’re going to be barefoot,’ ‘what do you mean they can’t see you,’ blah blah blah blah,” she explains. It surely is inspiring to know that Loreen can actually claim she

won Eurovision thanks to daring to stand by her vision, not the imposed, commercial one. “It’s so painful not to follow… what your gut feeling is telling you. And so, when I won the first win, … I was standing there, … twenty thousand people in the audience, and I was like: ‘oh, so … this is what happens when you go with your intuition.’” Loreen claims this moment to have been somewhat metaphysically special: “it was almost as if the universe [helped me] really cause I hadn’t trusted my intuition that much before, always compromising, always, you know, wanting to be in everybody else’s favour. … It just hit me, … so I remember that moment very, very clearly cause it was almost like a pause in all that chaos.”

A pause that let her realise she should start taking her priorities first. Today, twelve years after her first Eurovision, she says confidently: “there’s no such thing as having somebody tell me what to do; … I love working with people – I have a bunch of creators – but before we work, I often have a presentation, like, ‘ok, this is what we’re going to do.’ … I feel like narrative storyboard is so important because it will spark everybody else’s creativity,” explains Loreen, pointing to the significant coherence of the creative spirit that governs the process. “Otherwise, it’s not flowing; it’s not clean if you start compromising. … For eleven years, the universe, call it, has been drilling me … to learn on a deep level and understand that … every time you compromise on your gut feeling, you just have to take that route all over again, so you understand you’re not winning anything.” And it’s not just about being truthful to yourself, but also to your audience: “I protect the creativity. … I’m protective of pure energy. I don’t compromise because if I do, then it’s a distorted energy, and somebody is telling a lie.”

55

If you follow Loreen on Instagram, you clearly see she’s a huge advocate of (self-)acceptance and equality, which keeps popping up both on her socials and her art itself. But she’s also active outside of the purely creative world; Patron of the World's Children's Prize, 2013 ambassador of the Swedish Committee for Afghanistan (who engaged in the building of two schools for girls there), active opponent of death penalty and the liberty-constraining regime in Belarus, supporter for Ukraine. Back in 2012, as the Eurovision in Azerbaijan went parallel to the protests against human rights violation, Loreen was the only contest participant to express her support by talking to the protesters. Easy as it is to list all those proofs of a consistent, unbreakable moral code, it’s definitely not so easy to arrive at a point where you are ready to stand up. “Prioritise self-love” reads one of her Instagram posts. How has she got to this point of embracing oneself?

And she answers with another question: “how can you really give truly unconditional love to somebody outside of yourself if you don’t love yourself and it’s polluted right there?”

tested you and your intuition back and forth, like, ‘are you gonna trust your gut feeling?’, ‘are you gonna do this?’, … ‘are you gonna back all your creative ideas?’ … [So], the first one was still very shy, you could see me – … I was hidden; but still, that first step of trusting [oneself].” On the other hand, the second win brought another level of experience and emotions: “Look at eleven years later, … which is completely live and completely open. … I didn’t understand it; not the win, but the whole thing coming into my life again, you know. It was just a very spiritual and very interesting process because not in my wildest dreams did I think that I was gonna enter the Eurovision again.”

How did, then, participating in the contest for the second time come about? “There had been no talking about Eurovision or a competition, or anything, but there was just a song that came in. And I just… I knew that I was gonna do something with that f*cking song, and I could feel something in my vibe. There was something more about this. And then, the question came in, and there were so many things happening. Everything in the universe was pointing in a certain direction. Every time I

"Nobody can love yourself more than you.

This is your baby, this is your body, this is your gift.”

What does, then, self-love mean to Loreen? “The moment you start being responsible for your feelings and what is going on, being respectful towards that – that is self-love; and moving according to that, like, let’s say: I’m in this space, and these people need me, but my body and my spirit say ‘leave’. Then self-love would be to leave. … Nobody can love yourself more than you. This is your baby, this is your body, this is your gift,” she stresses. Can she call her journey towards self-acceptance complete yet? “Life is an ongoing process. … I’ve many times slaughtered my ego. If you ask me ‘am I full, am I complete?’ – no, of course I’m not. I’m here, we’re all learning. But I’m very much aware of my patterns. … You know, self-love is also sometimes being self-critical and, like, ‘what am I doing here?’, questioning. … It takes a while, and I think you learn about that though life.”

Talking of the process, we also ask Loreen about the differences between the two experiences of winning the Eurovision: “the first time I won, … it was basically the start of a journey, which is, like, you know, getting to know yourself. And the universe

56

said ‘no,’ it just felt weird.” And again, it’s all about trusting your intuition and going with what your body is telling you. We too often pretend not to see those signs, don’t we. “That’s how I navigate in life generally, like, why does my body all of a sudden feel this harmony? Whenever I said ‘yes,’ there was a flow [in my body], and I was like, ‘my god, the universe seriously wants me to take this step again.’” But this realisation wasn’t bliss only: “Why?!” she says emotionally. “You know, it’s painful to be in a competition, and there’s so much energy that you have to gather to create a performance, so why?!” But although the way may not be the easiest, Loreen’s remarkable story of the double win and her personal growth as an artist and a powerful woman proves it’s worth the effort.

The eleven years that separated the finale performances had, indeed, their impact: “the difference [was] that I knew exactly what I needed to do, and I could also enjoy it in a different way.

The experience was full, and the energy was pure. [There] was very little ego involved in that aspect; … it was not like: ‘look at me!’

It was certain knowledge, certain information that I wanted out there, and I used all the part to speak about this. I also created the performance that presented everything from the crystals to the sand, to me being barefoot, bouncing masculine and feminine energy in my own performers… [After all,] it’s not just a performance. There’s some connected consciousness, sending out certain energies.”

The wild, yet somewhat subtle and organic dynamicity, based on going with one’s internal flow seems to have become the core of Loreen’s mesmerising aesthetics. The topic continues as we discuss her latest single “Warning Signs” and the way she’s there as both sensual and – in a way – raw and predatory, wearing glittering, sexy bikini, and being as if stained with earth at the same time (See here). Observing Loreen throughout the last years, she’s become more and more edgy.

But by no means was it a grand commercial idea, planned meticulously months in advance by a team of PR consultants.

It came about organically: “that’s just so interesting,” observes Loreen herself. “I usually don’t have, like, a plan what I want to look like. It just happens in the moment, and I can’t really explain why. I’m very intuitive. … Often, … in the way I dress you still, like, see the masculine and the feminine. It’s almost like I have this need subconsciously to really match those two. [In the “Warning Signs” clip] I’m wearing a bikini, but the energy that I have is, like, a bit dangerous, which is what you would call a masculine energy. I’m always playing with these two in my styling. … It just happens. I just know, and I go with that.”

Are there any icons gleaming in her (sub)consciousness, influencing her taste? “Grace Jones for instance. She is the perfect example that woman holds both energies. She scares the shit out of you; she’s so much power. In her early days, [she was] very innovative, especially with the things she did with Jean Paul Goude. … Honestly, Björk is also a super inspiration. … You can tell that she’s not looking at what is trending right now, and … her style is really an expression of what is going on inside of her.”

Representing the inside on the outside – this leads us to another essential part of Loreen – her tattoos. It cannot be coincidental that her last Eurovision track was titled this way, that her tattoos get full attention in the already mentioned clip to “Warning Signs”, or that – fun fact – you can even buy Loreen-inspired tattoos in her official store. What does their

60

importance come from? “I have a nomadic background. My tribes are the natives of north Africa, and the whole tattooing comes from that. Back in the days, that was [women’s] way of [adorning their bodies].” And it stayed, as apart from Loreen’s mum, other women in her family got tattoos. “They tattooed their whole bodies; it has certain symbols. And the reason why I’m tattooing is because there’s so much wisdom that I’ve taken from these women from my mother’s side; such powerful and also painful lives. … For me personally, [it’s] a reminder of where I come from, and what these women have done.”

And we are more than eager to hear the full story: “my great-grandmother’s husband died in the war at the time. They had two children. … What [the others] did was, like, ‘oh, you need to marry another man’ – obviously – ‘because you need to survive.’ …

[But] she took her two children, her servant, she dressed up as a man, left everything and … traveled. … She opened a little store in a town and still dressed as a man to provide for her two kids, not showing her face. … Until she died she dressed as a man with a gold tooth and a cane. … So the reason why I have tattoos is, basically, just a reminder of the sacrifice that each and every woman has made. … I’m healing the wounds of many women behind me.”

She’s found the ideal treatment in her music. Another dose is coming soon – a full album. With every project being so personally inspired, what does this one stand for? “Each song is a representation of triggering a shock. It’s a very fiery one. It’s very energetic, but it has a very clear narrative: … I’m presenting chaos and harmony. It’s because I believe you have to go through that chaos and be honest about it for you to really get to that point of balance. … So there’s a lot of, let’s say, aggression in the album, as well as vulnerability – both sides; because it is a reflection of a person. … My whole point is that chaos is necessary. … You should really be thankful for the traumas that have come into your life because those are key to your development. Use it the right way, instead of being like ‘ahh, why did this happen to me?’ … There needs to be a sort of respect through the traumas. … There’s yin and yang; there’s up and down; there is light, there is darkness; those dualities, opposites in everything.”

And if we were to pick just one lesson you should learn from Loreen, it would be exactly this one: respect and embrace the opposites within you and your life. Let there only pure energy flow.

Words by NOA BALOU

From Tube to Fame: Sabrina Bahsoon’s Unstoppable Rise London’s Tube has seen its fair share of characters, but never a star quite like Sabrina Bahsoon. Known to millions as Tube Girl, Sabrina embodies self-expression, fearless confidence, and modern-day glamour.

What began as a spontaneous, wind-swept dance on public transport has turned into a global movement. With 800,000 followers on TikTok and countless iconic moments, Sabrina isn’t just a viral sensation—she’s a cultural force redefining what it means to seize your moment.

The #TubeEffect is real: Sabrina’s magnetic energy has captivated the world’s biggest names. From collaborating with Zalando alongside model Luka Sabbat to sharing the stage with THE legendary Naomi Campbell and Nelly Furtado, she’s transformed the Tube from a daily commute into a literal stage for stars. Even on a trip to Lisbon with Joe Jonas, Sabrina brought her signature Tube Girl flair, proving her influence knows no borders.

But her magic doesn’t stop there—Sabrina’s style has solidified her as a modern fashion icon. Shooting with her in the iconic streets of London, her radiant energy felt as electric as the city itself. A law graduate, recently signed to the prestigious IMG Models, and now embarking on her music journey with the debut single “MINE” dropping this Friday, Sabrina is switching tracks and taking the fast lane to stardom, linking fashion, art, and empowerment at every stop.

More than a trend, she’s a movement!

Today, Voir Magazine dives into Sabrina’s story, her dreams, and her journey to inspire the world to embrace their inner glow. Being in her presence felt like witnessing a new kind of star—one rewriting the rules of what it means to shine!

“I started on the bus !” Sabrina laughs, recalling the origins of her viral Tube videos. “I wanted to get more comfortable in front of the camera and thought, why not use my commute ? The bus didn’t work — it just wasn’t great. So I moved to the Tube. With

the wind in my hair, it just clicked. It felt cooler, more me.”

Her playful experiments struck a chord globally, but Sabrina says she never expected the overwhelming response : “I didn’t think it would blow up, but I hoped it would connect with people.

I guess it did.”

Watching her effortlessly transform the mundane into magic, we couldn’t help but ask where her confidence comes from.

“Honestly, it’s simple : no one actually cares,” she shares with a knowing smile. “You’re just a second in their day, a fleeting moment. Realizing that freed me.”

Her message is clear : confidence isn’t about being fearless but about doing it despite the fear. And in a city like London, a melting pot of cultures, that boldness finds a unique stage. “This city’s diversity inspires everything I do,” Sabrina reflects with pride. But her roots go deeper. “Being Malaysian is a huge part of who I am. Our culture is so rich, and I carry that with me always.”

For Sabrina, confidence is deeply tied to self-discovery : “Find what you love and excel at it,” she advises. “Whether it’s a skill, a hobby, or even how you dress, confidence comes from proving to yourself that you can.” Her mantra ? “Be extra confident.

Women don’t always need to downplay their greatness.”

As she revealed these layers of her identity, it became clear that Sabrina’s glow-up isn’t just an online phenomenon —it’s deeply personal. “It’s about knowing myself better, especially my personal style. I’ve stopped experimenting just to try something new and started honing in on what truly feels like me.”

Sabrina’s style is as multifaceted as her identity. “I channel my mood—some days girly, other days edgy and alternative,” she says. Her love for thrifting adds a unique layer to her wardrobe.

“I want pieces that not everyone has.” The one item she never leaves home without ? “My rings—they’re non-negotiable.” Her style icons ? “My mom and grandma. Their timeless elegance inspires me every day.”

“Don’t let people define you. Some will never see your worth, and that’s okay. As long as you know who you are, you’re good.”

But beyond the surface, Sabrina is deeply committed to empowering women. “There’s so much we wish we’d known sooner—like how it’s okay to own your confidence unapologetically.

Women don’t have to be modest about how brilliant they are.”

Her support system, from her family to her closest friends, keeps her grounded. “They remind me why I started and help me to stay authentic.” Reflecting on her journey, she offers heartfelt advice for her younger self : “Don’t let people define you. Some will never see your worth, and that’s okay. As long as you know who you are, you’re good.”

Our conversation shifted to her next chapter—music ! Sabrina’s excitement was contagious as she spoke about her debut single, which dropped last Saturday, November 30th. Sabrina is stepping into what she calls her “rockstar era”. “Music has always been my dream, and now it’s real,” she beams.

Between laughs and revelations, she also hinted at future aspirations. “I want to keep exploring modeling and push my creative boundaries”.

While chatting, we caught glimpses of her playlist – Charli XCX and her own unreleased tracks – and learned about her Tube ride essentials: a phone, headphones and hand sanitizer.

As the day wrapped up, her glow lingered—a radiant reminder of the power of confidence, self-love, and fearlessly owning your space.

Sabrina Bahsoon isn’t just a London it-girl ; she’s a force of nature, inspiring us all to embrace our inner light.

Here’s to shining boldly, just like Tube Girl.

Anecdotes and Rapid-Fire Round with Tube Girl

As we came to the end of our time with Sabrina, we dove into a lighter side of her world with a few quick questions. Think of it as a glimpse into what makes London’s Tube Girl tick— from her quirks to her hidden gems.

Favorite Tube Line & Hidden Spots in London When it comes to commuting, Sabrina’s favorite Tube line is the Victoria Line. Why ? “The wind is unmatched !” she laughs. For a taste of home, she often visits Melur, an authentic Malaysian restaurant in London that holds a special place in her heart.

“It’s comfort food at its finest,” she shares.

Filming Secrets Creating her viral Tube videos may look effortless, but there’s a method to the madness. “Practice makes perfect.

Before I head out, I run through the moves so I know exactly what I’m going to do. It minimizes takes and helps me feel more confident.” Her top tip ? Stay alert and aware of your surroundings.

Inspirations and Role Models When asked about her biggest influences, Sabrina lights up.

“Charli XCX has always been an icon for me. Her confidence, her sound—it’s all so authentic. Watching her stick to her voice and thrive has been so inspiring.” In the fashion world, she admires Alex Consani. “She’s herself, unapologetically, and doesn’t bend for anyone.”

These moments add a personal touch to Sabrina’s story, reminding us that behind the glamour and confidence is someone who stays true to herself. She’s the it-girl of today, and she’s just getting started.
