Guided by the principles of Passion, People, and Performance, Puig is a third-generation family-owned international luxury fashion, fragrance, and cosmetics group based in Barcelona. The company was founded 100 years ago by Antonio Puig, an art lover and habitue of the artistic circles of the time. In 1922 Puig created its first product, Milady, the first lipstick to be manufactured in Spain. Agua Lavanda, launched in 1940, became one of the company's most emblematic products, with all its ingredients coming from within Spain, and its success led to the company building its own factory and headquarters. During the 1960s the business evolved into a modern global corporation with the signing of groundbreaking designer Paco Rabanne, the establishment of its own research and development laboratories, and the use of cutting-edge talent in the field of advertising and marketing. Brands under the Puig umbrella today include Rabanne, Carolina Herrera, Jean Paul Gaultier, and Nina Ricci; the fragrance divisions of Comme des Garçons, Prada, and Valentino; plus the fragrance lines of celebrities such as Antonio Banderas and Shakira.

It’s hard to imagine a time in which the Grand Canyon was not regarded as one of the most exquisite and awe-inspiring natural wonders of the United States. But it has only recently become the revered national landmark that we know it to be today. For much of U.S. history, it was over-looked at best, exploited at worst. In The Story of the Grand Canyon’s Establishment 100 Years Later, you’ll discover the adventurous and tumultuous road that eventually led to the Grand Canyon’s success as a national landmark, tourist attraction, and home to all sorts of flora and fauna. From its ties to Native American culture and Teddy Roosevelt’s campaign for preservation to the encroaching railroad tyrants and daring explorations into its mysterious, mystical ravines, the Grand Canyon’s history is filled with as many twists and turns as the gorges’ themselves. After exploring the canyon’s history, study the present preservation and environmental efforts that will hopefully ensure the canyon’s glory for years to come. The future is yet unknown, but the Grand Canyon has stood long before our time and will stand long after we are gone, steadfast and magnificent.
