Eva Hardwick & Allana Brito Find Joy with Animals in Vogue Portugal May 2023

Human Brains and Nonthreatening Animals
According to recent studies, the human brain has a positive response to nonthreatening animals. When individuals come across animals that are perceived to be cute or friendly, such as puppies or kittens, their brain releases oxytocin, a hormone associated with social bonding and trust.
Much exciting new research focuses on the brains of the animals — and dogs in particular. A new study, published in the journal Evolution, investigated brain size in both modern and ancient dog breeds.
The research team found that dog brains are getting larger the further genetically that they have evolved away from a wolf. Researchers expected the exact opposite result, arguing that the larger, ancient brain was required for self-defense and hunting among ancient dogs and wolves alike.

Brett Lloyd is not new to the world of fashion photography. But his artistic vision may be particularly relevant in this moment. ‘A Scuola Di Restauro’ [At the School of Restoration] shows me his capacity as a voice in our [his] struggle.
These Brett Lloyd images are perfect for a creative team that includes styling by Riccardo Maria Chiacchio and models Paola Manes, Sun Mizrahi, Valerio Maccario, and Ylang Messenguital.

Aymeline Valade in 'Siren Call' in Syros for Vogue Greece June 2023 by Johan Sandberg
/
Model Aymeline Valade is far away from her French countryside, artistic-family upbringing, posing in this Vogue Greece, June 2023 fashion story ‘Siren Call’.
Valade is photographed by Johan Sandberg [IG] in the historical Aegean Sea island of Syros, which is part of Greece’s Cyclades island group.
History of Syros, Greece
Under the early 19th-century Venetian rule, Syros became known for its shipbuilding and merchant fleets. The island played a prominent role in the Mediterranean sea trade and also the birth of a thriving art scene in Syros.
Art typically flourishes when people are exposed to different cultures. Many of these ships sailed beyond the Mediterranean, to destinations such as Europe, the Americas, and Asia.

Vogue Portugal’s [IG] May 2023 issue is devoted to ‘Pleasure’ — a state of existence gone from several other Vogues, most notably Vogue France.

In AOC’s opinion, Vogue Portugal is doing consistently excellent work at keeping us engaged with their content. We try to inspire others to give them a hug, too.
In my case, pleasure could come from Lulu expanding her wings to make a solid contribution to the incredible body of Anne writing on Anne of Carversville. She has been complaining because I always send her off on dull-for-her AI projects like Neolithic-peoples’ caves in Switzerland, part of a new WSJ Magazine story.
