We are honoured to welcome Gal Gadot as Issue 107’s cover star.

This August issue is an ode to restoration. Inspired by our Editor-in-Chief’s annual retreat to the Provençal village of Bargemon, it celebrates the European art of slowing down and stepping away from the demands of everyday life. The luminous Gadot leads the charge in our cover feature, alongside a rare collection of previously unseen Marilyn Monroe photographs. Elsewhere, readers will find dispatches from Botswana and Los Angeles, an exploration of Richard Mille’s adventurous spirit, and a look at Van Cleef & Arpels’ pursuit of innovation while continuing to heed tradition. Together, these stories invite you to embrace beauty, curiosity, and the curative pleasures of a well-spent summer.
