The eighteenth issue of Vogue Adria has arrived

The new, eighteenth issue of Vogue Adria, available from today at newsstands and in our webshop, is a homage to the seventh art. Our Cinema Issue doesn’t celebrate film alone, but also the countless frames that have become part of our emotional archive — shaping our understanding of fashion, our aesthetic instinct, and everything that moves us and drives what we stand for.

On the November cover of Vogue Adria is Yura, one of today’s most sought-after models, whose presence pushes the boundaries of gender and expression. In this issue, Yura becomes a symbol of the modern-day film hero — one who doesn’t act, but simply exists. Both sides of Yura — the masculine and the feminine, the real and the imagined — were captured by photographer Elizaveta Porodina, known not only for her distinctive visual language, but also for her unique creative approach that always results in unforgettable storytelling on the pages of the magazine. Together with the team, Yura and Elizaveta created images that feel as if they were taken somewhere between dream and reality.

Photographer Branislav Simončik brings a fashion story that revives the spirit of the Yugoslav Black Wave — a movement that boldly broke boundaries, questioned reality, and explored the meaning of freedom. Through his lens, past and present merge into frames that pulse with emotion, while celebrated regional actors — Hana Selimović, Slaven Došlo, Andrija Kuzmanović, Judita Franković Brdar, Jovana Stojiljković, and Matej Zemljač — reinterpret fragments of cinematic moments that have been etched into our collective memory.

In his photographs, fashion doesn’t exist merely as costume — it serves as an extension of the narrative, proof that even the latest collections, when placed in the right context, can tell a profound and emotional story. The films of the Black Wave, with their courage, experimentation, vitality, and political charge, remind us that cinema is never an escape, but a form of resistance.

Svetlana Slapšak reflects on the position and role of women in the films of the Black Wave, while Mateja Hrnjački explores what it means to build a fantastical universe like Dune through production design. Ita O’Brien discusses the importance of regulating intimacy on set, and Tara Đukić, in conversation with regional Oscar contenders, examines the question of cinematic engagement. Meanwhile, Slovenian costume designer Alan Hranitelj speaks with Tijana Čvorak about the meaning of costume within the film narrative.

The new November issue of Vogue Adria also features Tara Jović’s conversation with insiders from the film world — from Los Angeles to London — exploring how Hollywood is no longer the sole beacon of storytelling. Tina Lončar speaks with designer Neža Simčič, whose work is devoted to exploring traditional Slovenian crafts and translating them into a contemporary fashion context. Nives Bošnjak looks at how stories from film sets, such as that of Marie Antoinette, continue to inspire the runways, while Tena Razumović Žmara sits down with pianist Maksim Mrvica ahead of his new concert tour, talking with the celebrated musician about everything — including where he finds his joie de vivre.
