Key players in Monaco’s banking sector have turned out in force for the Challenge Inter-Banques-Trophée ERI organised by the Yacht Club of Monaco under the patronage of Monaco for Finance (AMAF – Association Monégasque des Activités Financières).
For the 2019 edition, 40 employees divided into eight teams represented their respective establishments for a weekend of friendly competition on the sea.
Reserved exclusively for banks and financial institutions, the event is designed to reinforce team spirit.
Two days of racing on J/70s, made available free of charge by boat owners in the J/70 Monaco Class Association, were on the programme the weekend of 8th and 9th June.
A consistent performance by Marco Ardigo’s crew (Credit Suisse) with two 2nd places was not enough. Having won the first race and clinching a convincing 3rd in the second, the trio of Société Générale ladies succeeded in taking the title off Credit Suisse, which had won the event for the last two years.
Julius Baer completed the podium. Note that their team included two young sailors from the YCM’s Sports Section, Jeremy Moutout and Juan Casalone, who are currently working at the Swiss institution.
The Grand Apartments of the Prince’s Palace are finally reopening to the public, two years later than expected, revealing delicately re-worked frescoes and hidden Italian masterpieces.

Artcurial is taking over the Hermitage Hotel for seven days this summer to host Monaco Auction Week, where exceptional, rare and unexpected pieces will go under the gavel and into the homes of collectors from all over the world.
Different year, same result. Lyon-Villeurbanne secured a nail-biting overtime victory against AS Monaco Basketball (84-82) at the Astroballe on Saturday to win their third consecutive French title.
Maison d’Art is hosting an exhibit in the Hôtel de Paris featuring artists from the 13th century to today who have incorporated gold as an enhancement to their paintings, adding richness, depth and a show of power.

Happy Monday all! Hope you guys had an amazing weekend and celebrated National Day in style! I have to say, this weekend I wasn’t blown away by the street style so much as usual thus it’s another week of the usual suspects. Angela Orlova slayed the game in daytime diamonds. Mrs Cat was out and about coordinating with her dogs. Officially though Princess Charlene was the winner of the fashion Olympics this weekend in her Akris ensemble.
However, the outerwear is starting to place front and centre on the streets of the Principality. The furs are being pulled out of their bags and the battle of Who’s the Hairiest One of All is beginning. Guess who’s the mirror on the wall? Me.
Angela Orlova
@orlovaangela If I could fill the weekend report with only the fashionable escapades of jewellery designer Angela Orlova I would, but alas I must play fair and give everybody a chance at a day of online fame. Angela gave us fall vibes to the max in 50 shades of brown. Let’s start from the head down, shall we?
Donning a tan Loro Piana hat she looked ready to stroll the sunlit path of the starlight pavilions (check out her photoshoot with Tom Claeren). An unexpected chill? No worries, a casual Gucci mink fur should sort her out. Looking positively gangster in a white YSL smoking suit her Orlov Jewelry Serpentes Collection necklace gleamed like ice crystals on a sunny winter day. Christian Louboutin heels in a shade of truffle and an ostrich Hermès Kelly bag gave a bit of wild flavour to her look, although I doubt she’ll be traipsing through the woodlands dressed like this. Bling bling Angela, you shine bright like a diamond.
CAT
@cat98000 Oh my dear Cat. Is there anyone more passionate about fashion than she who coordinates her dogs’ leashes to her outfit? I THINK NOT! You can’t hide behind those Dior So Real sunglasses! I KNOW IT’S YOU! In perhaps a nod to the National Day festivities Cat’s colour of choice for this outfit was red. She looked positively cosy tucked into her turtleneck sweater underneath a fur gilet with her ever present Hermès Birkin slung over her arm, currently guest starring in red. She took her furry four-legged brood out for a walk, casual in her blue jeans and oxblood red flats. Riddle me this dear Cat ... who decides the look of the day ... you or the dogs? xoxo.
Samy Mendoza
@mendozaftz If I had to wear one outfit for the rest of my life, hands down it would look a little something like this. Winter is coming and Samy is clearly ready. No chair? No problem! A Louis Vuitton trunk will do. Looking extremely lush and plush in a gray fur coat this baller popped champagne in an Adidas Originals tracksuit and Dsquared hat. Don’t like his look? Well he has a clear message for you!
Veronika Girba
@girba Perhaps this Russian doll is asking Santa Claus which list she’s on this year. We think nice, like her fashion sense. Tis the season for tartan, and we are really digging this look. Channelling a chic schoolgirl with her Louis Vuitton Spring Summer 2016 monogram canvas drawstring bag, Veronika looked ready for whatever the weather threw at her in a white fur lined motorcycle jacket ... well almost ... those sneakers will come in handy when running indoor while Jack Frost comes nipping at your toes.
Toneva
@tocestyle My, my, two features in a row for the Freeze The Breeze designer. There’s just something about the way she wears her outfits with confidence that has me giving a little digital nod of approval. This week an orange turtleneck sweater, mom jeans and brown boots are elevated by a silver quilted kimono style jacket. A perfect look for a Sunday stroll around the Principality, it’s a comfortable and casual and still cute look. I can’t say the same for the Carpisa bag. My dear let’s leave that at home next time.
