Vogue Portugal: BACK TO BASICS

Dec 2025

Vogue Portugal's BACK TO BASICS editorial examines the intersection of high-contrast tailoring and architectural form. Through a series of studio portraits, photographer Xavi Gordo explores sculptural silhouettes and sharp monochrome palettes, emphasizing clean lines and refined materiality. Fashion editor Tomislav Blaic leans into a minimalist aesthetic, pairing structured outerwear and oversized blazers with sheer, fluid underlayers. The editorial highlights precise drapery and textural variety—from glossy vinyl to ribbed knits—against uniform backdrops that draw focus to the garments' construction. Makeup artist Jamal Musa complements the visual narrative with sleek, pared-back beauty looks, featuring high-sheen styling and bold lips that underscore the project's monochromatic focus.
