Julie Hoomans Sees the World in Retro Fashion Story by Mara Alonso for Vogue Portugal

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.

Photographer Mara Alonso [IG] captures the quiet adrenalin rush, in a time when young women suddenly were no longer tied to ironing boards. Seventy years later, American women are still fighting the battle for agency over our own lives.

This Vogue Portugal fashion story is set in a time when birth control and abortion were becoming legal in America. And women were leaving small towns for big cities and a paying job. Most important, women were flying in the skies of America, state to state, and also onto other foreign countries.

There are serious new legal issues for women and transgender people in America. Rather than bog readers down with the politics, we’ll finish the post and add the link for people who seek an update on very onerous actions being taken by red state attorneys generals.
