Grace Gay and Mila Bergsma as 'The Doves' by Koto Bolofo in Numéro 244 February 2024

The opposite of stress is serenity, and the February 2024 issue of Numéro 244 does its very best to deliver a calming hope to a world in serious need of some. It is — in the words of the magazine — an offering of Love, Peace and Serenity to accompany the Hope, as the only possible response to these dark times we live in. Some more than others, but this is a truly dark and catastrophic time for large numbers of the world’s people.

One of the warmer, gentler, human lights on planet Earth is photographer Koto Bolofo [IG] and he creates a moment of collective peace to nourish our collective humanity and the poignant awareness of the suffering of others with his fashion story ‘Les Colombes’ [the doves].

'Amor e Cia' for Vogue Portugal December 2023 Explores Skin Color Beauty

 'Amor e Cia' for Vogue Portugal December 2023 Explores Skin Color Beauty

Photographer Catharina Pavitschitz [IG] adds poetic beauty to the pages of Vogue Portugal’s [IG] December 2023 ‘Love and Hope’ issue with ‘Amor e Cia’ [Love and Company].

Vogue Portugal has an exemplary history in dealing with deeply-challenging issues of skin color, as it impacts racial identity and global culture images.

As European powers began to expand their empires through colonization, the concept of race as a hierarchical system based on physical attributes — particularly skin color — gained traction. This intellectual position was driven by the need to justify the subjugation and exploitation of indigenous populations and the mass enslavement of Africans across the continent.

The Vatican occupies a position of great prominence at the historical heart of the global slave trade, dating back to the 15th century when Pope Nicholas V issued the papal bull Dum Diversas in 1452, granting the Portuguese the right to enslave non-Christian peoples.

Model Lila Moss is styled by Gabriella Karefa-Johnson in a Gucci advertorial ‘My Roman Empire’. Photographer Theo Liu [IG] is behind the lens for British Vogue February 2024.

WSJ reflected on Gucci and the brand’s new CEO Jean-Francois Palus, writing that Palus “embodies the severity of the changes: A Frenchman at the head of a company that is as Italian as Chianti, he isn’t yet fluent in the native language, nor does he have a creative background.”

Palus began his career as an auditor and financial adviser with Arthur Andersen. He then ran the books for the timber division of the conglomerate that would go on to become Kering.
