EspañolTYLER BRûLé
'Jayson Tyler Brûlé' (born 1968 in Winnipeg, Manitoba) is a Canadian-born journalist, entrepreneur and magazine publisher.
The only child of Canadian football star Paul Brule[1] of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, Rough Riders, and Alouettes, and Virge Brule, an artist,[1] he moved to the United Kingdom in 1989 and trained as a journalist with the BBC. He subsequently wrote for ''The Guardian'', ''Stern'', ''The Sunday Times'' and ''Vanity Fair''. After being shot by a sniper while covering the Afghanistan war in March 1994 and losing the use of his left hand, Brûlé left journalism and launched ''Wallpaper
★ '', a style and fashion magazine which was one of the most influential new magazines of the 1990s. Time Warner bought the magazine in 1997, and kept Brûlé on as editorial director. Two spin-off magazines were launched: "Line" addressing sports and "Spruce" covering fashion - both were discontinued after three issues. 2001, he became the youngest ever recipient of the ''British Society of Magazine Editors'' Lifetime Achievement Award.
In 2001 he was hired to design the "look and feel" of Swiss (Swiss International Air Lines) at their relaunch after the collapse of Swissair.[2]
In May, 2002, Brûlé left ''Wallpaper'' and concentrated on "Winkmedia" (now "Winkreative"), a design agency he founded in 1998.
In 2005, Brûlé hosted the TV media magazine ''The Desk'' on BBC 4. In 2006, he co-produced "Counter Culture" - a documentary series about cultural aspects of shopping - on the same channel.
He was a regular columnist for the ''Financial Times'', ''The New York Times'' and ''Neue Zürcher Zeitung am Sonntag''. His "Fast Lane" column, which appeared in the Weekend supplement of the ''Financial Times'', was a write-up of his observations on travel, trends and high-end consumer goods, gathered in the course of his travels during the week, which often seemed to involve visits to more than two continents.
In October 2006, he announced that he would create a new magazine, to be called ''Monocle''.
In December 2006, he announced in his "Fast Lane" column in the ''Financial Times'', that he would be taking a break from the column at the close of the year to work on projects.
February 14 2007, the ''International Herald Tribune'' announced [3] a "new weekly column on urbanism and global navigation" by Brûlé, starting on the 3rd of March.
The premiere issue of Monocle was launched February 15th. 2007.
On 11 May 1999, Brûlé gave an interview to Evan Solomon of "Hot Type", a print-journalism program on ''CBC Newsworld'', in which he announced that he was estranged from his father due to the latter's disapproval of Brûlé's homosexuality.
In 1997, the Independent reported that Brûlé was the companion of Patrick Cox, the British shoe designer, though the couple reportedly broke up a year earlier. More recently, Brûlé's ''Financial Times'' column has made frequent reference to his present partner, Mats, a Swedish banker.[4]
On 3 July 2006, the British website pinknews.co.uk voted Brûlé 37th on its list of the most influential gays and lesbians in the United Kingdom. The year before, he came in 43rd on a similar list of influential gays and lesbians that was published in the Independent on Sunday (26 June 2005).
