For the March 2026 limited "Kiss Me" issue of Vogue Portugal, photography duo Alina Gross and Evangelos Rodoulis capture the raw, emotional tension of contemporary beauty through a striking, red-dominated monochromatic visual narrative.

The editorial explores the dualities of intimacy, passion, and human connection, juxtaposing bold textures like wet flower petals, high-gloss latex, and vivid crimson lip artistry against pure skin.

Directed under the precise editorial vision of Editor-in-Chief Sofia Lucas, the project strips away traditional boundaries to highlight the chaotic beauty of feeling.

"Fighter" concept Created for Cervical Cancer Awareness Month in January for Vogue Portugal, the series tells the personal story of Malia Keana, a Cologne (Germany) - based model who was diagnosed with cervical cancer nine years ago. An experience that forever changed her relationship with her body, her femininity, and her inner strength.Together with photographer Alina Gross, a visual world emerges that consciously moves between vulnerability and resilience. Turquoise, the international awareness color for cervical cancer, appears as a subtle visual thread throughout the series, symbolizing visibility, healing, and inner strength. The images speak of a quiet, often invisible fight —of endurance, resistance, and a strength that forms from within. Not loud, not heroic, but steady and empowering. Flowers appear not as decoration, but as silent companions —fragile, transient, and yet full of life. They reference inner transformation, continued growth, and becoming.Fighter aims to break the taboo surrounding cervical cancer and open a dialogue —about illness and healing, about fear and awareness, about femininity and body consciousness. It is a story that does not explain, but touches. Through an aesthetic and sensitive visual language, the series seeks to raise awareness and gently sensitize society to a topic that affects many, yet is still too often met with silence.
