Monocle #192: Style Special

Monocle is the magazine figurehead of the international design/business/culture media empire launched by Tyler Brule in 2007: multiple magazines, live events, 24-hour radio and a branding agency.

This April 2026 issue has both style and substance; titled the ‘Style Special’, it also spotlights the role of diplomacy in times of unrest. Inside, you’ll find an interview with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, reflecting on the importance of middle power states; foreign editor Alexis Self’s ‘The Good Embassy Guide’, which highlights the impact of embassies around the world; and a curation of the 25 best labels and retail spaces to shop at this spring. Plus, hear from Bloomingdale’s CEO Olivier Bron and chair of Zegna Group Gildo Zegna.
