It’s here – Monocle’s bumper winter issue. Carrying you through from December to January, it’s packed with treats, from a wander through Mumbai’s urban enclave of Colaba to a report on Catalonia’s festival of human towers. Sit down with Loro Piana’s CEO, Damien Bertrand, in his Milanese office, meet the leaders driving Andalusia’s thriving aviation sector and head for the Rockies for a break in the modernist Snowbird resort. Plus: The Monocle Concierge, our new section with long reads, smart ideas, hotel hideaways and more. Enjoy!

Want to know what makes us – and our readers – tick? This short film about our publications, broadcasts, events, community and retail ventures will fill you in. Since 2007, Monocle has grown from a print magazine offering fresh, optimistic perspectives into a globally influential media company that sets the agenda in everything from diplomacy to design, onscreen and on air. Today, we have HQs in Zürich and London, as well as bureaux and correspondents in cities from Paris to Tokyo. With a trusted and still-expanding presence in digital news, books, bricks-and-mortar retail, brand collaborations, podcasts and more, we’re the place that people (and businesses) come to for smart solutions and an engaged, common-sense read on the world.

Crisp sunny days call for gloves and soft knits; cosy evenings for cheerful hosting and long reads. Konfekt’s latest issue will deliver on both fronts: it’s our ode to winter style, packed with festive inspiration and expansive, high-altitude reportage. Follow us on snowy forays to the Alpine village best known for sledging and promenading with white goats, and allow us to recommend the spots where you can stock up on presents from Copenhagen and Kyoto to Dresden. Our resplendent jewellery special will provide plenty of covetable gift ideas too, as well as a chance to reflect on the world of craft, design, goldsmithing and gemmology. From a wooden chalet in Oslo to a Tbilisi bolthole and a modernist opera house in Turin, we take a tour of sumptuous interiors and recommend recipes, robust reds and musical soundtracks for a season of parties and soirées.
