Vogue Portugal Stirs Controversy With ‘The Insanity Problem’ for July/August 2020

As a part of its mixed July/August version, the title serves up 4 covers for “The Insanity Problem” with one already pulled from newsstands over its portrayal of psychological sickness. The controversial cowl photographed by Branislav Simoncik depicts a mannequin in a tub with two nurses. The second, much less offensive cowl from Debora Brune reveals mannequin Robina Sommer on a makeshift seaside on the streets of Berlin. Marjan Jonkman seems on the third cowl shot by Alex Blonde, whereas Ricardo Santos captured the fourth and remaining cowl that includes a portrait of a coronary heart.
