I was delighted to learn from Selvedge's brilliant editor, Polly Leonard, that my piece, "Thoroughly Modern Modesty: The Allure of the New Demure," received a shout-out from Monocle 24, the broadcasting arm of Monocle magazine. The editor, Tyler Brûlé; the broadcast editor, Gillian Dobias; and the editor of Eye magazine, John Walters, mentioned it during a conversation about Selvedge.
The review is below, and my piece is mentioned (and pictured!) toward the end. Along the way, you'll find many sumptuous Selvedge covers to feast upon, and some thoughtful words to ponder.

Thoroughly delectable covers -- and of all the aspects they survey, how thrilling that yours is the piece specifically discussed. Do you think that the illustrious Brulé recognized a fellow ex-pat? ;-) Bravo!
I doubt he was aware of our shared roots, but I may be in touch to let him know!
Congratulations! I haven't been able to find this magazine. :(
Congrats!
