THE MONOCLE BRIEFINGS: Part Three
Backstreet brewing in west London, Dutch glass design and an innovative plastic recycling project. A film from the Monocle television series on Bloomberg.
Thriving threads
The various strands of the fashion industry spent the past year pulling themselves together after a tough 2009. Monocle speaks to the brands that are now planning to spread their wings in 2011.
Admen of God
How do you sell products to people who don't watch TV or use the internet? We visit the Haredi Advertising Academy, which trains students to create ads for their Orthodox brothers.
Business
The new spae shuttles prepare for lift-off, an iconic motorbike film gets back on the road, and Cornwall lays claims to the title of Britain's "green coats."
Fashion
London's Oliver Spencer opens in Toronto, plus we have coats to protect you from spring showers and womenswear with a soft focus.
Breaking the chains
A concept store featuring fashion, interiors and art has been set up by five entrepreneurs to challenge the might of the multiples with their unique take on the retail experience.
Fashion
An eyewear boutique in New York with new and vintage frames, nautical jumpers for women and a new menswear store in Stockholm.
Christmas gift guide
From chocolates to wooden toys, cameras to candleholders, we’ve scoured the globe for things we’d like to find in the Monocle Christmas stocking.
The crème de la crème
A family-run company, Clarins’s business strategy is to improve products rather than discontinue them. This has won it a loyal following and set it apart from other cosmetics giants.
Observation
The search for a new Monocle HQ continues. Meanwhile, we've been thinking about our next retail venture and have noticed a gaping hole in the newsstand market, writes Tyler Brûlé.
