A symbol of power, seduction, and triumph since ancient times, the image of the panther never fails to arouse fantasies and dreams.Featuring texts by art historian Bérénice Geoffroy-Schneiter, jewelry historian Vivienne Becker, jewelry expert Joanna Hardy, and fashion editor André Leon Talley, Cartier Panthère chronicles the panther in art history, the evolution of Cartier panther jewels, the techniques involved in creating a Cartier panthe…

Zanzibar | Aline Coquelle

"When you are younger you take Zanzibar for granted.Only when you get older do you realize its beauty"- Abeid KarumeOff the coast of East Africa in the Indian Ocean sits an archipelago known as Zanzibar.

Comporta Bliss | Carlos Souza

"Crossing on the ferry between Setubal and Tróia, we really take our time and arrive quietly, watching dolphins in the Estuary of Sado, that delicious atmosphere typical of Comporta's peninsula."- Patrick PerrinSometimes compared to the Saint-Tropez of Brigitte Bardot in the 1950s, Comporta, with its relaxed pace and artistic community, is the ideal destination for those looking to wander off course. It's the new found favorite of personalities such as Jacques Grange, Farida Khelfa, François Dumas, the Espírito Santo family, and Madonna, who shares photographs of taking her kids to the beach and horseback riding in the dunes of nearby Carvalhal on weekends. This fishing village boasts swaths of beaches, patch works of rice paddies, and an ecosystem filled with storks and frogs, all a serene backdrop for the striking homes found there: rustic cabanas and that ched-roof huts reflecting the care free lifestyle that has become Comporta's hallmark. This distinctive setting challenges the mi…
