Fashion publishing runs on images, and image rights matter. We take them seriously and respond quickly to valid complaints.

Our approach to images

Images on StyleFlixu fall into these categories:

• Original photography and illustrations created for this site
• Digitally created imagery produced for illustrative purposes
• Licensed stock imagery
• Press and lookbook images supplied by brands for editorial use
• Runway and editorial images used for news reporting, review and commentary, with credit

Where we use third-party material, it is credited and used for editorial purposes that we believe constitute fair use / fair dealing.

Filing a complaint

If you own copyright in material appearing on this site and believe it is used without authorisation, email [copyright@style.bollyflixu.com] with:

1. Your name, address, phone number and email

4. Proof of ownership or authority to act for the owner
5. A statement of good-faith belief that the use is unauthorised
6. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that your information is accurate
7. Your signature, physical or electronic

What happens next

We acknowledge valid notices within 48 hours and remove or disable the disputed material within 72 hours of confirming the claim. Where we believe the use was legitimate, we will explain our reasoning rather than ignore you.

Counter-notice

If your material was removed in error, send a counter-notice to the same address with your contact details, identification of the removed material and its location, and a statement under penalty of perjury that the removal resulted from mistake or misidentification.

Repeat infringement

We remove content and terminate contributor access for repeat infringement.

How we decide what to publish

We start from what readers are actually stuck on. A trend only becomes an article if there is something real to say about how it behaves in practice — proportion, layering, coverage, drape. “It’s in this season” is not an article.

Honesty about trends

We say when a trend does not work. A sheer knit is a sheer knit; a cropped jacket cannot be lengthened by enthusiasm. Pretending otherwise wastes your time and your money, so we name the pieces that fight modest dressing and explain why, rather than recommending everything indiscriminately.

Product recommendations

We recommend based on cut, fabric, coverage and value — not on commission rates or which brand emailed us. We include options at different price points wherever possible, and we say when something is expensive for what it is.

We do not accept payment for a positive review. Sponsored content is labelled. Affiliate links are disclosed.

Sourcing

Trend claims are grounded in what actually appeared on the runways or in verified brand and retailer announcements. Where we reference another publication’s reporting, we credit and link to them. Beauty claims about ingredients are drawn from published research and manufacturer information, not from marketing copy.

Respect for readers

Modest dressing is practised differently across cultures, countries and communities. We write about it as a legitimate style choice, never as a limitation to be worked around or a subject for debate. We do not police how anyone dresses, and we do not publish content that shames readers about their bodies, budgets or choices.

Corrections

• Minor errors are fixed and noted at the foot of the article.
• Substantive errors get a clear correction note stating what was wrong and what is accurate.
• Fundamentally wrong articles are retracted with an explanation, not quietly deleted.

Request a correction: [corrections@style.bollyflixu.com] with the article link and the specific issue.

Updates

Seasonal content is reviewed and updated as trends and product availability change. Substantially updated articles show a revised date.

Independence

StyleFlixu is independently owned and published by Rashid Awan. We are not owned by or affiliated with any brand, retailer, fashion house or media group. No advertiser sees an article before publication or has any influence over editorial content.
