Culture
With 2013 winding down, we're impatiently looking ahead. Here are the cultural events, ideas and objects that are set to make 2014 (and the festive season) a truly special one.

Architecture Film Festival Rotterdam
Cityscapes surround us and inspire us. Architecture speaks to our eyes and our minds. Monocle heads to Rotterdam's own Architecture Film Festival, to investigate the complex alchemy between real and invisible cities.
Fashion
Knits, hats, gloves, backpacks — everything you need for an Arctic winter, plus retailers and labels to watch
