The Vogue Portugal April 2014 issue plays with the abstract shape and form. The stunning Maria Borges wears a collection of larger-than-life fashion chosen by editor Paul Macedo.
This includes sleek leather dresses and knee-highs, structured peplum mini's and a voluminous cape. One shot features a massive, pilgrim-inspired hat, while another features umbrella-style headgear. These transcendental fashions look perfectly in place within the scope of this editorial, but I imagine they'd garner some weird looks if you wore them down the street.
The beauty team, consisting of hair stylist Miguel Viana and make-up artist Cristina Gomes, provided Borges with a down-to-earth look: sleek hair, plum lips and minimal eye makeup.
Photographer Rui Aguiar rounded out the creative lineup, documenting Borges in all her high fashion glory.
