Monocle Magazine Issue No. 197

If there’s one thing to know about Monocle, it’s that they’ve got both depth and range, covering everything from geopolitics to groovy shopping destinations. Founder Tyler Brûlé also started iconic style magazine Wallpaper* and did stints at the Financial Times and BBC Four, so you know both sides of the brain are covered in great detail. Issue 197, in their words: “Strut into the new season with the finest of accessories, Monocle’s October issue – our Style Special. We dive into the colourful world of Santos Populares, Lisbon’s exuberantly sanctified street party; toast the entrepreneur shaking up Singapore’s nightlife; and visit the Paris studio of architect Lina Ghotmeh. Plus: Our Style Top 25, the art of dressing smart, a Burgundy roadtrip and Auckland gets back on track.”
