Laufey Covers Vogue Portugal's May 2026 'Heart & Reason' Story with Talk of Jazz
Laufey takes a cover of Vogue Portugal’s [IG] May 2026 ‘Heart & Reason’ issue, highlighting the balancing act between emotion and logic. Loizos Sofokleous styles the shoot, with photography by Élio Nogueira [IG] shot in Lisbon.
Cultural Fusion Is the Heart of Jazz
Unlike Western jazz hubs where audiences tend to skew older, Downbeat Magazine notes that the jazz audience in China is overwhelmingly young. The result is a highly curious, tech-savvy fanbase that aligns perfectly with Laufe’s core listeners worldwide.
Jazz is a key unifier in the emerging, global New Humanism movement. Anne uses the term New Humanism, to distinguish it from humanism in Europe, which was Eurocentric and — in spite of its philosophical values — managed to embrace the global slave trade.
As we speak, France has finally abolished its Code Noir laws, which defined human beings of color as property that could be transferred wherever an owner chose to send him/her or sell them.
New Humanism Sets Out on the Silk Road Which Today Includes Marrakech
Photographer Élio Nogueira [IG] taps visually into a story shaped by centuries and the lives of traders.
Beyond the movement of physical goods, Marrakech facilitated a massive exchange of knowledge and culture that spread widely in the region.
During the early Middle Ages [Europe’s "Dark Ages"], much of the Greek philosophical and scientific corpus was lost to the West, as a result of the Crusades. However, it was preserved and expanded upon in the Islamic world.
In an action of true humanism, scholars from the Arab world and the West or European world, were joined by Jewish scholars — often bilingual or multilingual — to restore and expand on all the critical knowledge destroyed in the Crusades.

The June 2024 issue of Vogue Portugal [IG] is a love letter from Portugal to the world. “It’s impossible to get to know Portugal just by looking at it, because you feel it above all with your heart,” writes EIC Sofia Lucas.
Supermodel Alessandra Ambrosio graces the June issue in spectacular images lensed by Élio Nogueira [IG] on location in Azores. Loizos Sofokleous styles Ambrosio in Aphrodite-inspired, sea goddess fashion.
Mother-Nature, Gaia, Terra Mater, the “cult of the feminine” is center stage in the May 2024 issue of Vogue Portugal, writes Sofia Lucas.
The editorial issue overview opens with a quote from Aristotle:
“In all things of nature, there is something of the marvelous” - Aristotle
As educated women, we do not bow down to Aristotle, for clear and concise reasons.
There’s no record that Aristotle, the great philosopher and foundational contributor to Western civilization, saw significant value in women. He argued quite the opposite, and AOC contends that Aristotle was a creator of the misogyny and not merely reflecting his time in history.
