Worldly, business savvy but with a finger on design and fashion, this site and monthly magazine aims not just to inform, but entertain. By filtering through the information masses, it delivers handpicked stories from a group of opinion leaders on the ABC (D and E) of what’s happening around the globe.
Started by WALLPAPER* founder and FINANCIAL TIMES correspondent Tyler Brûlé, MONOCLE’s web arm regularly posts videos and news detailing everything from the trickling rate of global freshwater to Kuntzel + Deygas’s Com-Pet.
Magazine subscribers get more, such as monthly updates in their post, inboxes and added access to online content. At the moment we’re still too poor to extend our experience to the subscriber-only 25/25 guide series, which profiles the coolest things to do in some of the world’s leading business cities. Click here for a sampler, and a reason to grow the $19.94 in your savings account.
