Back in 2020, when France was in lockdown, Claire Choisne, artistic director of Parisian jeweller Boucheron, was working on the 2023 collection. Amid the doom and gloom of those days, she set out to “bring joy to Place Vendôme”, the centre of jewellery making in the city.
“We’re the oldest and first jeweller on Place Vendôme – but we’re a fun grandmother,” she says, laughing at the brand’s high jewellery presentation during the haute couture shows in Paris in July.

She explains that it uses blood-based protein biomarkers to detect and assess the processes associated with the disease, including, for example, neurodegeneration, inflammation and vascular functions.By analysing the levels of 21 plasma proteins, the test “captures the dysregulation of various biological processes and provides a comprehensive assessment of AD progression and severity”.

Pandas thrive on bamboo, but it may soon help humans live better and more sustainably thanks to a creative project China has initiated to turn the world’s fastest-growing plant into a viable alternative to polluting plastic.
For centuries, the bamboo industry has fashioned what is technically a type of grass into everything from fencing to the scaffolding Hong Kong’s real-life spider-men still scramble across on construction sites today.
More recently, bamboo has been developed into a stand-in for fossil fuel-based plastic, giving rise to biodegradable bags, dinner boxes and straws.
