Vogue Portugal June 2025 : The Oceans of Life Issue

Whoa… I just woke up to this and oh boy did I wake up!
 
Sara is back on Vogue list! Good to know!!!

Angelina is Miss Universe from Ukraine!

I like Paola’s cover!!!
 
Cover 04 of 05 is my absolute favorite. It is absolutely stunning. It is giving me life.
 
These are stunning! Nothing gets me more excited than a summery cover with that rocky coast vibe!
 
Wow I think I love it ALL.

Vogue Portugal doesn't always get it right but oh man they try and they are one of the most creative Vogue teams nowadays, I believe. Very often they're artsy without being boring and they usually deliver beautiful photography.

LOVE. Super eager for all the eds.
 
3 out of 5 is not bad at all, however, one strong cover is all we needed. sadly, Sara’s cover is the one I like the least.

curious about the editorials.
 
cover no. 3 and 4 - stunning! Incorporating sunlight into the shots was a good choice. I appreciate Sara's cover for trying something different but the colour palette of it all ends up gloomy, not summery aquatic.
 
Is this what they were going for with the fourth cover? They tried it I guess...

Have Vogues done away with artistic directors as part of their cost-cutting/catering to social media first? The photos are beautiful but they don't work very well as cover images, and the layout is dragging them down even more.
 
We're definitely seeing a change from when there was a very particular visual 'language' required for covers, due to the importance of needing the cover to sell the issue on the newsstand.

Real effort went into their composition, an almost psychological-level consideration of colour choice or wording, in addition to whatever business decisions were in place regarding which designer would get featured etc.

When you get a situation where there's a thousand practical compromises being made in order to get your issue out the door, but there are also people at the magazine who believe in never compromising on design, it can all come together to produce something exceptional. It's the cover as elevated to an art form.

So much of that has fallen away, because magazines seem to have decided there isn't the same requirement for it in the first place.

Also, the deceptively simple nature of Franca's Vogue Italia has led everyone to believe that taking an interesting image and putting one or two words over it means you've created a stunning cover.
 
Have we had a Miss Universe on the cover of any other edition of Vogue?
 
Portuguese Vogue is the Raquel Zimmerman of Vogues. Nice, yes, but no...
 
Pretty without more, without drama, without substance
 
Quite like what I see (especially Paola Manes' cover) but do I really feel the thrill? Not really but do I need to feel thrilled everytime I see a magazine cover? I guess no longer and today I'm pretty feeling as neutral as these covers.
