The Detroit-based label locally produces fashion to be globally enjoyed.

First there was Paris, then there was Milan. Soon following suit came New York and London. Now, there’s Detroit.

It’s not entirely unexpected of the city. The midwestern capital has a history long intertwined with the arts and innovation, producing technological wonders a la Henry Ford, musical mastery a la Motown, hip-hop superstars like Eminem and a booming retail scene attracting countless creatives and young businesses to the Michigan metropolis.

How My Personal Style Changed When I Relocated

By Andreas Milano 2 weeks ago
When I lived in Singapore, I was always dressed in very light, summery clothing. The average temperature is 30 degrees Celsius and it’s very humid – not ideal for jeans or tweed jackets unfortunately! In London, when I was working in finance, I dressed very corporate – a smart dress or trousers and high heels everyday, and no loud colours (besides the occasional red nails).

By Andreas Milano 2 weeks ago

Turning 100 is no doubt a “crowning glory” and a remarkable feat for those fortunate enough to be among that elite group of super seniors.

Saturday 3 April 2021 – The Monocle Minute

By Andreas Milano 2 weeks ago

If you started a restaurant, what would the concept be? A few of the team were pitching amusing – if bound-to-fail – ideas to each other when our managing editor Tom Reynolds offered up The Toast Office. Not only is it a good name, not only does almost everyone like toast but also, as he pointed out, his raw ingredient costs would be very low (you can see why he’s the managing editor) and you wouldn’t need to hire expensive chefs (as I said, you can see why he’s the managing editor).

He even suggested giving the slices of bread
