Stylist Sam Woolf to receive Pandora Style Moment of the Year Award
An Australian native, Woolf is a fashion expert known for crafting some of Hollywood’s most talked about looks. This award recognises his work styling Doechii throughout 2025, delivering a series of defining fashion moments that captured global attention from the Grammys and BET Awards, to her standout looks at Paris Fashion Week, the Met Gala and Glastonbury. Her collaborative storytelling approach has been instrumental in shaping Doechii’s distinctive style and establishing her as a fashion innovator, the BFC said in a press release.
Celebrity stylist Sam Woolf has been named the recipient of the Pandora Style Moment of the Year Award at The Fashion Awards 2025.
Recognised for styling Doechii throughout 2025, Woolf crafted iconic looks from the Grammys to the Met Gala, shaping his distinctive style.
The award celebrates his storytelling approach in fashion and his lasting cultural influence.
“As a fan of Doechii, I was first introduced to Woolf’s work through her and it was immediately clear he was doing something original. His collaboration with her stands out for its authenticity and the way it captures her range as an artist. Each project begins with a clear vision and a commitment to character; every look has intent, a point of view. He uses fashion to build identity and narrative, it’s storytelling in motion. He is a truly deserving winner,” Laura Weir, chief executive officer, British Fashion Council, said.
“Styling is storytelling, a powerful way to translate individuality into visual narratives that resonate far beyond the moment. Sam’s work embodies this art, creating looks that define presence and leave a lasting cultural imprint. His collaboration with Doechii beautifully illustrates how fashion, styling and jewellery together can shape moments that transcend time and continue to inspire,” Berta de Pablos-Barbier, chief marketing officer, Pandora, said.
Woolf was selected as the winner by a judging panel composed of Beka Gvishiani, founder, Style Not Com; Elias Medini (Ly.as), content creator and fashion commentator; Hanan Besovic (ideservecouture), fashion commentator; Kim Russell (thekimbino), fashion historian, stylist and Instagram creator; Nicky Campbell, fashion critic and Red Carpet correspondent; Clara Mercer, chief marketing officer, BFC and Francesco Terzo and A. Filippo Ficarelli, Pandora’s SVP creative directors.
TFA is a vital fundraiser for the BFC Foundation and spotlights the cultural power of fashion, its most iconic moments and the visionary talents pushing boundaries and redefining the industry.

IMF to give specific attention to low-income, vulnerable nations
Such countries include fragile and conflict-affected states and small developing states, especially where debt and financing pressures are mounting, he noted in his statement.
The IMF will continue to support countries in their efforts to promote stability and growth, including through sound macroeconomic policies, domestic resource mobilisation and better governance.
The chair of its International Monetary and Financial Committee said this support will include specific attention to low-income and vulnerable countries.
The committee called for enhanced debt transparency.
“We remain committed to further improving debt restructuring processes, including under the Common Framework, building on the progress already achieved, and advancing the work at the Global Sovereign Debt Roundtable (GSDR) to ensure debt restructurings are delivered in a predictable, timely, orderly and coordinated manner,” he said.
The committee called for enhanced debt transparency from all stakeholders, including private creditors.
“We will advance structural reforms to enable private sector-led investment, increase productivity, safeguard energy security, and elevate medium-term growth prospects,” added Aljadaan.

Germany firms raise investment plans, uncertainty persists: ifo
“The improved order situation in industry has brightened sentiment somewhat. However, as a result of the Iran war, energy costs have risen sharply, and uncertainty among companies has also increased. That runs counter to a stronger economic recovery,” said Timo Wollmershauser, head of forecasts at ifo.
Firms in Germany have raised investment plans, with ifo expectations rising to 0.2 points in March from -3.1 in December 2025.
Industry led gains, especially non-energy sectors, while energy-intensive segments and chemicals remained weak.
Services showed modest optimism, but trade stayed pessimistic.
Rising energy costs and geopolitical uncertainty temper recovery.
The most notable rise in the willingness to invest was in industry. Expectations rose to +0.1 points in March, up from -6.9 points in December. The outlook improved particularly strongly in non-energy-intensive industries, where significantly more companies were planning to expand their investments this year, ifo said in a press release.
In energy-intensive industries, however, the willingness to invest remains subdued. At -9 points in March, the balance remained virtually unchanged from December (-8.9 points). In the chemical industry, investment expectations even declined further, from -15.8 to -16.2 points.
Overall, the corresponding balance in manufacturing rose from -4.1 to +1.2 points. “Companies across all sectors also want to invest more in software. The growing use of artificial intelligence is likely to play a role in that,” said ifo economic expert Lara Zarges.
In trade, companies remain the most pessimistic. The balance of investment expectations stood at -9.6 points in March, virtually unchanged from the level in December. Service providers, on the other hand, confirmed their slightly positive outlook from December: Their investment expectations improved from +1.1 to +2.8 points.
The points for the ifo investment expectations indicate the percentage of companies that intend to increase their investments on balance.
