vogue portugal ended the year 2019 in a big way with covers throughout the year that, frankly, were remarkable especially when compared to the covers of the big four (uk, italy, usa, paris).
now, we have this. and here’s vogue’s justification:
Our July/August issue is themed ‘The Madness issue’, with four different covers each designed to address different dimensions of human behaviour, during a time when the global pandemic has brought people to confinement.
One of the covers portrays a hospital scene where the model is being taken care of by her real life mother and grandmother, shot by photographer Branislav Simoncik. Our intention is to open up the topic of mental health, and bring to the discussion the institutions, the science and the people that are involved with mental health today. The cover story explores the historical context of mental health and is designed to reflect real life and authentic stories, inspired by deep research of hundreds of reportage photographs from some of the most relevant and famous documentarists who have captured mental health hospitals. Inside the issue, features interviews and contributions from psychiatrists, sociologists, psychologists and other experts in the field. Mental health forms just one of the topics explored within the issue and is not linked to the theme of madness but instead covered as an aspect of human emotions and behaviour.
which is clearly not just bullshit, but also completely missing the point. i mean, just the fact they claim to wanted to talk about mental illness AND did heavy research and have specialists talking about important mental health issues but still fucking call the issue the "madness" issue kind of says it all.
however, it’s not even the worst thing that happened because people in the industry (or directly related to vogue portugal) have come up publicly defending the cover ... and they aren’t even pretending to take criticism into account:
José Santana defends that there is nothing offensive in the image, he says to the newspaper "Público", and that what you see is the main character to be taken care of by two nurses who, in this case, are the model's mother and grandmother - Simona Kirchnerova - in a mental hospital in Bratislava. In the statement sent to the British newspaper José Santana also adds that the image is a tribute to patients and health professionals. "We also want to bring the institutions, science and areas that deal with mental illness to the debate", adds the same text. The director of the Portuguese edition of the international magazine, Sofia Lucas, on the other hand, reacts defending that “they are judging the book by its cover", she says to “Público”. “This is a rash judgment because the covers are controversial but nobody has read the inside. We deal with important issues ", he adds. José Santana, in the statement, says:" As a creative director, I am concerned about artistic freedom being attacked, because it seems that you cannot talk about anything these days ".
stupidity, ignorance, tone-deaf .... what a bingo we have here huh. it feels relevant to mention that not that long ago, a portuguese actor - who was allegedly going through mental health issues (as well as others) - committed suicide.
so much to touch on and me with my little patience truly just want to smack people in the face because i’m exhausted. i’m just exhausted of the nonsense.
and for those who say that this issue has other covers and that these criticisms seem to be carefully targeted: fuck you. I don’t care that over cover (two that I personally think are very good) exist, there could exist a thousand, i care that THIS one - called the “madness issue” - does and frankly i’m glad vogue portugal is being dragged internationally.

Vogue Portugal pulls controversial mental health cover

The cover generated a huge backlash
Vogue Portugal has pulled a recent magazine cover, which mental health experts criticised as “outdated” and in “bad taste”.
The Madness Issue featured a woman in a bathtub in a hospital setting with a nurse pouring water over her head.
Vogue Portugal said the image was intended to “start a discussion”.
But it has since changed the cover, saying that it now realises “the subject of mental health needs a more thoughtful approach”.
“Vogue Portugal deeply apologises for any offence or upset caused by this photo shoot,” the company said in an Instagram post, which showed a new cover image of a person holding a human heart.
The photo of the woman in the bath generated huge controversy on its release. Vogue Portugal, however, initially refused to back down, insisting in a statement posted on Twitter that the cover story explored “the historical context of mental health and is designed to reflect real life and authentic stories”.
“Inside the issue features interviews and contributions from psychiatrists, sociologists, psychologists and other experts,” the statement added.
The woman featured in the bathtub, Slovak model Simona Kirchnerova, wrote in an Instagram post on Friday that it was a “career highlight” because those standing either side of her were family members.
“Made it to Vogue cover with my mum and my grandma,” she wrote.
But London-based clinical psychologist Katerina Alexandraki told the BBC that she considered the cover to be “unethical”.
“For those with experience of the psychiatric system, seeing a fashion magazine cover presenting a woman in such a vulnerable state can be a reminder of a very challenging time in their lives,” she said.
“This image reinforces the idea of women being vulnerable and helpless during a mental health breakdown. It does not show us the effort those with mental health put in to overcoming their struggles, their strengths and resistance to overcome adversity,” she added.
Coronavirus: How to protect your mental health
Portuguese model Sara Sampaio said images like the one portrayed on the Vogue Portugal cover “should not be representing the conversation about mental health”.
Ms Sampaio, who said she had suffered with mental health issues herself, said she considered it “very bad taste”.
“It looks like it’s in an [outdated] mental hospital” that used to “torture” patients, she said in a video posted on social media.
She added that the image came at a particularly sensitive time “because of Covid and the way that mental health has been dealt with”, with many people having been isolated or directly affected by the pandemic.

Portuguese model Sara Sampaio said the magazine cover image was in “very bad taste”
Vogue Portugal has responded to criticism over its depiction of mental health treatment on a recent magazine cover saying its aim was to “shine a light” on the important issue.
The “Madness Issue” features a woman in a bathtub in a hospital setting with a nurse pouring water over her head.
Mental health experts and sufferers said the cover depicted a “dystopian” and “outdated” idea of treatment.
Vogue Portugal said the image was intended to “start a discussion”.
“The cover story explores the historical context of mental health and is designed to reflect real life and authentic stories,” the publisher said in a statement posted on Twitter on Saturday.
“Inside the issue features interviews and contributions from psychiatrists, sociologists, psychologists and other experts,” the statement added.
The woman featured in the bathtub, Slovak model Simona Kirchnerova, wrote in an Instagram post on Friday that it was a “career highlight” because those stood either side of her were family members.
“Made it to Vogue cover with my mum and my grandma,” she wrote.
But London-based clinical psychologist Katerina Alexandraki told the BBC that she considered the cover to be “unethical”.
“For those with experience of the psychiatric system, seeing a fashion magazine cover presenting a woman in such a vulnerable state can be a reminder of a very challenging time in their lives,” she said.
“This image reinforces the idea of women being vulnerable and helpless during a mental health breakdown. It does not show us the effort those with mental health put in to overcoming their struggles, their strengths and resistance to overcome adversity,” she added.
‘Very bad taste’
Portuguese model Sara Sampaio said images like the one portrayed on the Vogue Portugal cover “should not be representing the conversation about mental health”.
Ms Sampaio, who said she had suffered with mental health issues herself, said she considered it “very bad taste”.
“It looks like its in an [outdated] mental hospital” that used to “torture” patients, she said in a video posted on social media.
She added that it comes at a particularly sensitive time “because of Covid and the way that mental health has been dealt with” while many people have been isolated or directly affected by the deadly coronavirus pandemic.
Coronavirus: How to protect your mental health
Writer and mental health awareness advocate Poorna Bell, whose husband took his life 2015, wrote about her disapproval on Twitter using an expletive, preceded by: “On behalf of anyone who has ever been in a psychiatric hospital or had a loved one who has been in one.”
“The thing is knowing how painfully slow the process is to get anything signed off on a magazine, this will have been seen and approved by many, many eyeballs,” she added.
A psychotherapist based in Lisbon, Silvia Baptista, said the cover was “everything the mental health conversation doesn’t need”.
“These nurses, this patient, what is this? What is this uninformed and disrespectful ensemble?” she wrote on Instagram, adding that it was wrong to “glamorise” mental illness.
Vogue Portugal ended its statement saying that it recognised the “significance of the topic of mental health”.
“Our intention, through visual storytelling, is to shine a light on the important issues of today,” it said.
