Model Julie Hoomans adds another fashion story ‘Bagagem Emocional’ to Vogue Portugal’s June 2023 ‘Voyage’ issue. The dog collar necklace with Hoomans walking the dogs has me smiling. Stylists have the opportunity to use lots more wit when given the green light by editors. Stylist Alicia Padrón’s small globe in Hoomans’ hand is also a nice touch — with pink Samsonite luggage, along with Gucci Valigeria.
