Viva Voce is a community and marketplace built for people who have felt overlooked, excluded, or unseen in fashion.

We’re creating space for people to discover their style, connect with community, and support brands trying to do things more thoughtfully through size inclusion and conscious practices.

A lot of us know what it feels like to walk into a store and immediately realize:
“This space wasn’t made with me in mind.”

That feeling stays with people.

Viva Voce was created to challenge it by creating spaces where people feel seen, heard, validated, and celebrated, online and in real life.

Viva Voce was founded by Kate, a tall, fat, neurodivergent entrepreneur who spent years feeling excluded from fashion spaces. One moment especially stuck with her: while shopping in SoHo in New York City, she went store after store looking for a pair of pants in her size, and found nothing.

The message felt loud and clear: "We don’t see you. We don’t want you here."

That moment became about much more than clothing. It became about visibility, dignity, belonging, and who fashion chooses to prioritize.

Without a traditional fashion background, Kate built Viva Voce to create something different: a space where people could feel seen instead of excluded.

Today, Viva Voce exists as both a growing community and a marketplace focused on helping people discover brands, express themselves freely, and experience fashion in a way that feels affirming instead of alienating.
