‘We have to rethink the way that we’re designing department stores.’ Olivier Bron on the future of Bloomingdale’s (opens the original)
Read excerpt
If you have been reading headlines about department stores in the US recently, it might seem all doom and gloom, thanks to the demise of former titans of the sector such as Saks and Neiman Marcus. One department store that has been bucking such trends, however, is Bloomingdale’s, which is led by its quick-thinking French CEO, Olivier Bron, formerly of Bain & Company, Galeries Lafayette and Bangkok’s Central Group. He has been tightening the ship – trading on the brand’s reputable name and rethin
From the ground up to the rooftops of Lisbon, here’s what has built Monocle into a family (opens the original)

Are you one of those people who are prone to post-party depression? Or are you more the type who can celebrate a grand event, collapse, recover and get on with whatever’s lined up next? On this particular Saturday afternoon, I feel wedged between the two. A couple of hours ago we officially wrapped up our Quality of Life Conference in Lisbon (see more details in Andrew Tuck’s column yesterday). As I said my goodbyes to speakers and delegates, I was overcome by a certain melancholy as I descended

Second, our stage is likely to introduce you to some amazing new voices. Third, I want to get you behind the wheel or in the passenger seat of Amble. Fourth, Na Praia is going to be a name that you need to know. And finally, it’s going to be an exciting dash to the year’s end with a host of new Monocle projects on the go. 1.We’re less than two weeks out
An Italian odyssey of wine-dark detours, fast boats and a stormy eclipse (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It has been a bit of an odyssey – partly of the Italian variety, partly on-screen. You might recall that last week I was bound for Forte dei Marmi, and I’m pleased to report that all was tasty as ever at Bagno Bruno, though some of the Russian guests had lips so XXXL that it was hard to determine if they’d asked their clinic for “A380 escape slide” or “super-size asylum seeker dinghy” proportions.
