Monocle

9th March 2007

Monocle cover

The first edition of Monocle is out now - though availability seems a bit limited.

In its manifesto (can anything launch these days without one?) it promises to “focus on global affairs, business, culture, design and the best products on the market” and “be an oasis from celebrities and low production values”.

Founded by the team behind the original Wallpaper* magazine, it’s somewhere between a New Yorker for Europe and the Economist without the earnest, lecturing tone. It’s the best magazine I’ve picked up in ages.

First editions of Wallpaper now fetch over £1,000. Maybe it would be a good idea to buy a copy of Monocle to tuck away in a ziploc bag.
