Iglesias, 82 has not publicly responded to the accusations. The allegations have sparked strong reactions in Spain, where the Grammy-winning singer has long been a respected figure.

A criminal complaint filed by two former employees of veteran Spanish singer Julio Iglesias accuses him of "human trafficking" and sexual crimes, according to advocacy groups supporting the women. The women -- a domestic worker and a physiotherapist -- allege they suffered sexual and other forms of abuse while working at Iglesias's properties in the Dominican Republic and the Bahamas in 2021, Women's Link Worldwide and Amnesty International said late Tuesday. The organisations said a complaint filed with Spanish prosecutors on January 5 outlined alleged acts that could be considered "a crime of human trafficking for the purpose of forced labour" and "crimes against sexual freedom". Iglesias subjected them to "sexual harassment, regularly checked their mobile phones, restricted their ability to leave the home where they worked, and required them to work up to 16 hours a day without days off," according to testimony collected by the two groups. One of the women, a Dominican identified as Rebeca, who was 22 at the time of the alleged incidents, said she spoke out to seek justice and set an example for other employees of the singer. "I want to tell them to be strong, to raise their voices, to remember he is not invincible," she said, according to a statement by Women's Link. Judicial sources confirmed to AFP that a complaint was filed against Iglesias, without giving further details. The allegations were first detailed in an investigation published Tuesday by US television network Univision and Spanish newspaper elDiario.es. Iglesias, 82 has not publicly responded to the accusations. The allegations have sparked strong reactions in Spain, where the Grammy-winning singer has long been a respected figure. Spain's Equality Minister, Ana Redondo, has called for "a full investigation" into the allegations, while Deputy Prime Minister Yolanda Diaz called them "chilling testimonies". - 'Stop speculating' - The head of the conservative opposition Popular Party (PP), Alberto Nunez Feijoo, who is friends with Iglesias, said he was "very, very, very surprised" by the accusations. "We need to know exactly what happened, if anything. We must stop speculating," he added Wednesday during an interview with Spanish television station Telecinco. Feijoo said during a 2024 interview with Vanity Fair magazine that he spoke to Iglesias "every month", calling him a "great Spaniard" who he turned to for advice. Iglesias is one of the most successful Latin artists of all time, with over 300 million records sold. Best known for his romantic ballads, he enjoyed huge success during the 1970s and 1980s and has recorded with US artists including Diana Ross, Stevie Wonder and Willie Nelson. Iglesias has publicly embraced a "Latin lover" image, especially in older interviews where he openly discussed his sexual appetite and romantic exploits. His former manager Fernan Martinez told Telecinco Wednesday that Iglesias was "very affectionate”" and enjoyed "physical contact", but stressed he never saw the music icon "behave aggressively". High-profile figures across entertainment and music including US actor Bill Cosby and French film icon Gerard Depardieu have faced allegations of sexual misconduct in recent years. Some cases have led to convictions or settlements, while others remain under investigation. Advocates say the wave of claims, driven by the #MeToo movement that grew to prominence in 2017 in response to allegations against US film producer Harvey Weinsteain, have exposed systemic abuse.

<p><strong>Bridging tradition and modernity</strong></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The kurti is the attire worn by the women of Bollywood and is a tightrope walker between tradition and modernity. In fact, the silhouette of the kurti provides ample opportunities to work with prints, lengths, layering, and texturing while retaining an Indian essence.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also read: </strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/bollywood/nupur-sanon-stebin-ben-wedding-salman-khan-blesses-newlyweds-at-star-studded-mumbai-reception-watch-1768374543826">Nupur Sanon-Stebin Ben: Salman Khan blesses newlyweds at Mumbai reception. Watch</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>In some urban storylines, the kurti came to represent a design solution for characters leading their lives in the modern world while also remaining grounded in their culture. This also relates to the manner in which many Indian women in today’s world like to wear their clothes, blending their heritage with the latest fashion trends.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Embodiment of effortless Indian chic</strong></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>In contrast, “extremely styled” costumes can’t compare to this, as they somehow dwarf the wearer. The essence of “kurti” lies in subtlety, although it has managed to convey “individuality without excess, style without strain” on screen, which has, in turn, made this attire a staple of Bollywood for smart, independent, and earthy characters.</p>

<p><strong>Why is this trend growing?</strong></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Speaking about the influence from B-Town is also substantial, according to Mr Anuj Mundhra, Founder, Chairman &amp; Managing Director, Nandani Creation Limited (Brand: Jaipur Kurti) , “Bollywood has changed the perception about wearing kurtis with western accessories like jeans or jackets. Today’s youth finds these outfits more relatable. The jeans and kurti trend has completely changed the perception about middle-aged outfits and transformed them into trendy and modern wear for everyday use.”</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/lifestyle/mattel-unveils-first-barbie-on-the-autism-spectrum-featuring-sensory-friendly-fashion-and-aac-tools-1768378703318"><strong>Mattel unveils first Barbie on the Autism Spectrum featuring AAC tools</strong></a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>These insights explain why kurtis are now being embraced more widely in contemporary wardrobes. The eclectic orders of many fashion designers is driven by demand for the new modern wardrobe, with kurtis being in the top spot. Their comfortable, relaxed fit aligns perfectly with current lifestyle needs, while sustainable fabrics and modern cuts further enhance their appeal.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Mr. Mundhra adds, “What I find most interesting is the normalization of Kurtis as everyday wear. From travel and coffee runs to casual meet-ups, the styling of kurtis by celebrities makes ethnic fashion feel accessible and more relatable.”</p><p><br><strong>The legacy of cinema on closets</strong></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>As the film fashion trend filters down, the impact of the film journey of the kurti is reflected in the manner in which the garment is being worn outside the film industry as well. Right from the workplace to travel attire, the impact of the film industry, in the form of the Bollywood film, is such that it not only featured the kurti but also repositioned its utility in the contemporary Indian wardrobe.</p>

Beyond ethnic! How kurti became Bollywood’s go-to symbol of effortless Indian style

Bollywood remains more than just entertainment, as reflected in its ability to function as a mirror to the cultural sensibilities of India, its penchant for reinventing the many wardrobe staples that the industry subscribes to, and, in the process, its ability to turn the kurti into the signifier of Indian understated elegance. This signifier of Indian understated elegance, in turn, extends its boundaries to the Indian indie scene. From traditional attire to everyday expression The kurti was traditionally known to belong to the category of region-specific attire for daily use and not to the glamour attire category. This changed with the intervention of the Bollywood industry, which brought the kurti within the realm of everyday situations like college campuses, office spaces, cafes, or homes. Instead of being portrayed as formal attire, it was showcased as a part of daily attire. Because of this, the kurti began to be recognised not as ‘ethnic wear’ for times past, but as an all-purpose article of clothing that integrates perfectly into contemporary lifestyles. The voice of comfort on screen Comfort is perhaps the single largest reason why the kurti has become a staple of Bollywood cinema. With a shift towards realism in the types of stories told on screen, the clothing worn by characters reflects this shift as well. The kurti is a clothing item which provides a strong visual vocabulary that talks about ease and realism. Whether wearing the kurti with jeans, palazzo pants or churidars, the garment symbolized effortless poise.

<p>Beyond celluloid, Bollywood and its stars are trendsetters when it comes to fashion. Whatever the ladies of B-town wore became the go-to look for girls in the common crowd. And among many styles, the one look that's seen a major transformation in recent years is the Kurti.&nbsp;</p>

<p>There is a new Barbie in the Mattel family. Giant toymaker Mattel has introduced the first-ever autistic Barbie, which is part of the Barbie Fashionistas collection. The move is part of Mattel’s long-standing attempt at making its dolls more diverse and inclusive. The new Autistic Barbie has reportedly been made in cooperation with the autistic community.&nbsp;</p><h2>More about the Autistic Barbie</h2><p>A few days ahead of its launch, Mattel shared the first look at the new Barbie on its Facebook page and revealed that it has been developed in coordination with the Autistic Self-Advocacy Network (ASAN).</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The doll is part of the Barbie Fashionistas collection that is intended to increase the diversity and inclusivity of the doll line. Other dolls in the Fashionistas line include a Ken doll with a prosthetic leg, a Barbie with hearing aids and dolls with a skin condition called vitiligo.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>A post accompanied the photos in which the doll manufacturer stated that the new Barbie was intended to reflect on experiences that are related to people on the autism spectrum.&nbsp;</p><p>According to Mattel, it does so through features like “elbow and wrist articulation, enabling stimming and other hand gestures to process sensory information; a shifted gaze, reflecting how some members of the community may avoid direct eye contact; a fidget spinner, offering a sensory outlet that can help reduce stress and improve focus; noise-cancelling headphones that reduce sensory overload; an AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication) tablet, as a communication tool; and sensory-sensitive fashions, minimizing fabric-to-skin contact”.</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

<p> </p><h2>Mattel’s move for inclusivity</h2><p>The new Barbie with autism is the latest addition to the range of dolls from Mattel. The company, over the years, has tried to create more diverse Barbie dolls after facing years of backlash for stereotyping the female body and promoting a kind of figure often considered impractical and unattainable. </p><p> </p><p>In 2024, the toy company introduced the first Blind Barbie Fashionista doll created in partnership with the American Foundation for the Blind (AFB). Meant to authentically represent blind and low vision individuals, the doll “features an upward and outward eye gaze, sunglasses, and a cane with a marshmallow tip.” The doll also has textured fabrics for a better sensory experience, easy-to-open Braille packaging, and elbow articulation for comfortable cane use.</p><p> </p><p>In 2023, the company collaborated with the National Down Syndrome Society (NDSS) to come up with a doll that “accurately represents a person with Down Syndrome.”</p>

Toy manufacturer Mattel has introduced a new Barbie who is on the autism spectrum. The doll is part of the new Barbie Fashionistas collection. The move is part of the toymaker's long-standing attempt at making its dolls more diverse and inclusive. 

There is a new Barbie in the Mattel family. Giant toymaker Mattel has introduced the first-ever autistic Barbie, which is part of the Barbie Fashionistas collection. The move is part of Mattel’s long-standing attempt at making its dolls more diverse and inclusive. The new Autistic Barbie has reportedly been made in cooperation with the autistic community. More about the Autistic Barbie A few days ahead of its launch, Mattel shared the first look at the new Barbie on its Facebook page and revealed that it has been developed in coordination with the Autistic Self-Advocacy Network (ASAN). The doll is part of the Barbie Fashionistas collection that is intended to increase the diversity and inclusivity of the doll line. Other dolls in the Fashionistas line include a Ken doll with a prosthetic leg, a Barbie with hearing aids and dolls with a skin condition called vitiligo. A post accompanied the photos in which the doll manufacturer stated that the new Barbie was intended to reflect on experiences that are related to people on the autism spectrum. According to Mattel, it does so through features like “elbow and wrist articulation, enabling stimming and other hand gestures to process sensory information; a shifted gaze, reflecting how some members of the community may avoid direct eye contact; a fidget spinner, offering a sensory outlet that can help reduce stress and improve focus; noise-cancelling headphones that reduce sensory overload; an AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication) tablet, as a communication tool; and sensory-sensitive fashions, minimizing fabric-to-skin contact”.
