Birthdays are good for you. They must be because the people who have the most birthdays live the longest. So it is with unreserved celebration that we congratulate MONOCLE on a stellar first year in print. In this short time it has turned the whole idea of magazines and news reportage on its head.

Every month a beautifully designed, pristinely shot, assiduously researched, stunningly packaged and well-styled volume hits the shelf with a resounding thud. Sure the odd article is so pretentious one might rather slit their wrists with a platinum Amex card, but for the most part this straddles the world of news and prestige quite effortlessly and you're just not civilised if you don't read it.
