I had no idea.
I'm not a Marais hipster, just saying that behind the crap items and gaudy campaigns there is a venerable luggage company that is among the best in the world. I'll go tell all my friends at La Perle that you're a loser.
Says who though? Monocle concept is hype consumption, you know authentic vacations, designer hotels, cool clothing. It's a bible that explains what to do, buy and talk about to build up your hype capital.
Once again how do you classify something as "profound"? Is it a matter of form vs content or some other bullshit dichotomy? Monocle is, once again, a consumption bible.
Also, the Monocle men fashion spreads are probably the best styled (at least to my taste) of any publication, print or online.

I know you hate Belgium
Hype capital? WTF is this nouveau riche crap?
They are consistently anti-American and anti-free market--hence the dozens of articles per issue about improving urban life through heavy-handed regulation and planning and touting the superiority of northern European cities. It's as if they believe the reason why there isn't a cobblestoned main street--with a high-end grooming lounge, bespoke tailor, and antiquarian book shop--in every town is simply because people are too stupid to realize they need one and local authorities didn't write the right laws.
"hype capital" is a joke on Bourdieu's social and cultural capital...
Give me a little credit. I've nailed down their game, up to and including the disingenuousness that you seem to have missed.
The more I read your posts about it, the more I like Monocle.
i feel like the points you are mentioning have more to do with disillusionment in general of print media.Originally Posted by indesertdum
