Print media is rapidly evolving, and exclusivity often seems diluted by digital content. During this era, The Monegasque has emerged as a timeless bastion of high society and international elegance. The magazine distinguishes itself not merely through features on Monaco’s high-society events but through the exclusive stories brought to life by a cadre of international elites, business tycoons, celebrities, royals, and sporting legends.
The magazine’s distinction lies in its remarkable editorial team, meticulously curated by Luiz Costa, also known as Costa Macambira. His ability to assemble a board of the world’s most distinguished figures lends the magazine an authenticity and depth rarely found elsewhere. What is the magic behind assembling such a constellation of celebrities who are willing to write and reveal their secrets within one of the most sophisticated and exclusive societies: Monaco? To uncover this, we delved into the background of the publisher and found that Costa Macambira enjoys the highest regard among the Monegasque elite. As the former publisher of Forbes Monaco and a high-society jet-setter himself, Costa Macambira has cultivated numerous friendships within Monaco’s elite. His understanding of their mindset has allowed him to craft a unique voice for one of the world’s most exclusive circles.
Under his leadership, The Monegasque transcends the conventional magazine format. It serves as a meticulously curated reflection of global elite life, offering readers an unparalleled glimpse into the lives and thoughts of those whose influence spans continents.
Consider Helga Piaget; she brings a profound commitment to environmental causes. As the magazine’s Environment Editor, her columns reflect a passion for sustainability and offer thoughtful insights into pressing ecological challenges.
On another page, one might find His Imperial Royal Highness Archduke Carl Christian of Austria, a financier whose passion for cars and motorsports drives his contributions. His reflections delve into the world of luxury automobiles and high-speed racing, offering readers an insider’s perspective on the elegance and technical brilliance of high-performance machines.
Prince Felix of Luxembourg adds another unique dimension to the magazine. His passion for oenology is reflected in refined contributions to wines, vintages, and winemaking. As the son of the Grand Duke of Luxembourg, Prince Felix’s insights elevate the conversation around wine to new heights.
Where else in the world can you find royals from Europe’s most prestigious families, such as the Habsburgs or the Grand Ducal Family, sharing their expertise and passions within the pages of a magazine? The Monegasque is the rare publication where such remarkable stories are found.
Then there is former tennis world number one Dinara Safina, whose contributions extend beyond the courts to explore the intersection of sports, culture, and society. Her narratives are as sharp and insightful as her backhand, reflecting the perseverance and discipline that transcend sports.
No discussion of The Monegasque would be complete without mentioning the renowned haute joaillier Alberto Repossi. His fame as the jeweler who sold Princess Diana’s engagement ring to Dodi Fayed is just one facet of a career that spans decades and sparkles with the adornments of royalty and celebrities alike. His stories about high jewelry delve into not only precious stones but also the personal moments, history, and cultural symbolism embedded in each piece.
Adding to this star-studded lineup are contributions from pop culture royalty such as Jermaine Jackson, who writes passionately about his brother Michael and the evolution of music, and world boxing champion Evander Holyfield, who shares his thoughts on perseverance, discipline, and the art of triumph. It seems almost surreal to find such a constellation of world-renowned personalities writing in a single publication.
Recent news that Prince Albert of Monaco has contributed an article about the Olympics highlights the magazine’s continued popularity and growing reputation not only among Monaco’s affluent readers but also across European media. With its unique style, we would not be surprised if The Monegasque achieves iconic status akin to “Vogue” and other legendary publications, yet with its own unrivaled flair.
In a world where celebrity often overshadows substance, this unique magazine offers a refreshing reminder that true sophistication lies in the stories we tell and the legacy we create. It is not just a magazine but a cultural institution — an emblem of style, intellect, and unparalleled prestige. Kudos to the publisher and his extraordinary assembly of star contributors.
