AMIDST the glitz and glamour that is synonymous with Monaco, an exciting development is brewing. The much-anticipated inaugural issue of The Monegasque™ magazine is poised to grace the high society scene with its launch at an exclusive, invitation-only event at the Prince’s Car Collection on December 19, 2023. In what promises to be a convergence of elegance and prestige, the unveiling of The Monegasque™ will be celebrated with a bespoke cocktail event. This gathering, set to be attended by an illustrious roster of personalities and celebrities, marks the beginning of a new epoch in the realm of high society publications. The brainchild of Luiz Costa Macambira, the former Forbes Monaco CEO and Publisher, The Monegasque™ stands as a testament to his visionary leadership and commitment to excellence.
The magazine, rooted in the rich tapestry of Monaco’s cultural milieu, is designed to offer an English-speaking audience an unprecedented lens into the world of high society. His Serene Highness, Prince Albert II of Monaco, in a letter to the team of The Monegasque™, expressed his enthusiasm for the magazine's role in highlighting the diverse cultural, social, and intellectual landscape of Monaco. This gesture underscores the publication's significance in the Principality's cultural scene. Set to be a quarterly print phenomenon, the January/March issue of The Monegasque™ is adorned with contributions from an array of global luminaries. The lineup includes personalities like Jermaine Jackson, who expressed his delight in writing for the magazine, world-renowned boxer Evander Holyfield, and esteemed members of various European royal families. This illustrious assemblage of contributors is a clear indicator of the magazine’s dedication to providing an insider’s view of the contemporary Monaco experience.
Luiz Costa Macambira, a figure known for his expansive network and innovative approach to the paradigms of business and wealth, brings his extensive media industry experience to the fore, ably supported by Nancy Heslin, the former Editor-in-Chief of Forbes Monaco. His vision for Monaco as a repository of enchanting tales and unmatched charm is evident in his editorial direction. Macambira’s insight into the world of billionaires, particularly self-made ones, reflects an understanding of their unique blend of eccentricity and boldness. These traits, he believes, are not just pillars of their success but are also integral to the lavish and fascinating allure of Monaco. With its debut, The Monegasque™ is on course to establish itself as the quintessential guide to the opulent and elusive world of Monaco, offering readers a window into the lives of some of the most intriguing figures in contemporary society.
The first issue is slated to be available at newsstands across the Principality just in time for the Christmas season. The magazine's online presence will also be solidified with the launch of its website,
the-monegasque.com, before the year's end.
