AN ENTHUSIASTIC ILLUSTRATOR
Cradled by the sun and the beaches of southeastern France, this young illustrator grew up with her head full of pop colors! Today, she lives in Paris where the summer waves of her childhood constantly influence her work and her good mood. After having proven itself for other major brands, it welcomed a collaboration with Monoïkos 1297 with enthusiasm.
A note of history
The Monaco Grand Prix is one of the oldest and most prestigious races in the world. It is the most glamorous, prestigious and popular Grand Prix and above all the one that every driver and every team dreams of winning!
It was during the Monaco Grand Prix that the checkered flag featured on our collection was institutionalized as it is today.
Originally, the flag had two black tiles and two white tiles. The first photos of its use for motor racing were taken on Long Island in 1904 then at the finish of the Indianapolis 500 in 1912, but it was in Monaco in 1934 that Antony Noghès made it official to mark the arrival of the first pilot with his current design. And it was in 1937, three years later, that the checkered flag was incorporated into the AIACR's international sporting code and became the universal symbol of victory!
