Vogue Portugal writes:

“In this edition, we pay homage to kitsch, to its playful and naive side, and we leave concepts such as good taste, elegance, sophistication or subtlety on hold. We play with the most judged, criticized and despised aesthetic of all time.” This is how Sofia Lucas, Editor in Chief of Vogue Portugal, sums up the February issue, “The Kitsch Issue”: a eulogy to guilty pleasures and “tacky” things, a tribute to everything that doesn’t fit within the parameters of the minimalist and clean aesthetic of recent decades. Yes, it’s time to get the china dogs out of the cupboard. No need to be afraid.”
