Monocle, October 2026

Not the Harvard-produced satire of the ’60s, Monocle reports the parts of international affairs, policy, culture and social trends that are relevant to people also interested in furniture design, exotic travel and development theory. If this is you, then you’ve just found a new reason to get up in the morning. Newly created by the same team originally responsible for Wallpaper*, reading Monocle will make yourself more interesting. A cosmopolitan internationalist look at the world – a magazine for the thinking person.

In this issue:

Strut into the new season with the finest of accessories, Monocle’s October issue – our Style Special. We dive into the colourful world of Santos Populares, Lisbon’s exuberantly sanctified street party; toast the entrepreneur shaking up Singapore’s nightlife; and visit the Paris studio of architect Lina Ghotmeh. Plus: Our Style Top 25, the art of dressing smart, a Burgundy roadtrip and Auckland gets back on track.
