Andreas Ortner Captures Nature's Sublime Beauty on Maria Rosa for Vogue Portugal AOC Fashion

Vogue Portugal’s November 2021 ‘No Comments’ issue continues with exquisite images of model Maria Rosa’s nature-inspired beauty looks. Gianluca Mandelli creates hair and makeup splendor captured by photographer Andreas Ortner [IG]. .

“The time has come for more action and fewer words,” writes Sofia Lucas, 'Vogue Portugal’s editor in chief, about the new issue, which includes no commentary.

These images are so inspiring and Lucas’ words resonate so deeply that perhaps everyone quoting her profundity will eliminate the word “flawless’ from our vocabs — when the topic is new year 2022 beauty editorial in December fashion issues. LOL.

AOC won’t count on it. You will never find the word ‘flawless’ here — except to critique it for all its negativity. I haven’t noticed that we’re particularly influential in our efforts. Now if Vogues took on the word in its total essence — good and bad — now THAT would bring results.

No more flaw-fixing. Free at last!!! ~ Anne
