Tyler Brûlé anchors the Monocle Weekly from Milan this week and is joined by Gianni Riotta, editor-in-chief of Il Sole 24 ORE, and Walter Mariotti, director of the newspaper's supplement Intelligence in Lifestyle, for a discussion on the state of "brand Italy" and how the country's politics and economy are faring. We also hear about the highlights from the week's menswear shows in Milan from Monocle's fashion editor Takeharu Sato and retailer Nicholas Benitz, while our correspondent Ivan Carvalho reports from the Geneva watch fair. Finally, we bring you a special report on the relief efforts in Haiti from our reporter Anastasia Moloney in Port-au-Prince. Also in the studio are editor Andrew Tuck and culture editor Rob Bound.
In this week's culture section we play a track entitled Cruel Intentions by Simian Mobile Disco.
