“Just what is Monocle? A style bible for urban planners - or an in-flight magazine for people who don't fly? Sometimes, it plays at reporting serious news, but Monocle lacks the gravitas or timeliness to keep pace with serious news outlets. It defaults, therefore, to being a lifestyle publication, mixing bulletins on consumer items with pretentious lists, trying to define what is fashionable for impressionable readers. It may be the only magazine that has invented its own country, just so that the editors could populate it with fantasy citizens utilising make-believe public transport, and put it on the cover. It's horrible - and yet you can't look away.”
