As a designer influenced by nature, it was natural that James Heeley should be fascinated by the world of scent. It was through his design work that he discovered how sents are 'designed'.

His first scent, 'Figuier', is remarkable for it's precision in evoking with apparent simplicity the natural scent of a Mediterranean fig tree. With time and experience, his beatifully constructed, simple, light scents evolved into more complex creations such as 'Cardinal', 'Esprit du Tigre' and 'Cuir Pleine Fleur'.
His continually eveloving work now contains a varied collection of unique scents, each made according to the art of traditional French perfumery. Every detail, from the creation of the scent to the recyclable packaging is designed 'in house'. Today, Heeley is one of the few living, owner-founder, independent luxury perfume houses in Europe. It is this independence that allows the creative freedom to create individual scents that are simply unique.
Born in Yorkshire, England, James Heeley studied Philosophy and Aesthetics at King's College, London University. He lives and works in Paris.

Heeley Parfums now available at Storm.

Henné Organics draws inspiration of its founder's, Laura Xiao’s travels around the world. The need to minimize the products carried around, really helped her to figure out the true essentials of every makeup bag, when she founded the brand in 2015.

Her Går Det Godt is a media outfit run by Esben Bjerre and Peter Falktoft. The main outlet from the two consists of one of the most popular Danish podcasts ever, but travel shows, xmas ornaments and current affairs are no strangers to their outcome.

Inspired by New York's sanitation workers uniform, Heron Preston releases a DSNY collection full of workwear essentials including hoodies, sweatshirts and t-shirts.

The idea to collaborate with an organization that keeps our water and cities clean, came as a result of an experience with a plastic bag in the ocean in Ibiza. All of the garments are created by using up-cycled clothing and donated uniforms from "Department of Sanitation New York".

Heron Preston wants, through this collaboration and collection, to give back to the city of New York. On an orange patch on the garments "Protect mother earth. Donate this garment when finished" is printed on to raise awareness.

“The scent Higher Peace is influenced by the Merry Pranksters and the retired schoolbus Furthur, which enlightened America during the 60s. It’s about never stop learning. Letting your guard down, trying to understand each other and, with that, traveling through unknown waters. It is also a statement of peace, inspired by the values of bagism, a term created by Lennon and Ono in 1969. The intent of bagism is avoiding prejudice and stereotyping by not judging others on the basis on skin color, gender, sexuality, age or other.”

Highsnobiety recently teamed up with New York-based streetwear brand aNYthing on a collection of goods done to honor the youth of cities like Paris, Berlin and New York. As fans of La Haine, both the clothing and accompanying lookbook reflect the film’s gritty black-and-white aesthetic along with the aspirations of the film’s central characters. The collection’s slogan, “The City is Ours,” adorn each piece, referencing a scene in La Haine where a poster reads “Le Monde et a Vous” with the “V” crossed out and replaced with an “N.” Thus, “The City is Yours” becoming “The City is Ours.” Available here

Highsnobiety present their collection of iPhone 5 cases done in collaboration with Marcelo Burlon and his County of Milan label. For the collaboration, Highsnobiety produced three individual iPhone 5 cases featuring the signature designs, the Italian label has become known for since its creation in 2012.

What does the color purple smell like? Silky, sweet secrets. (Formerly known as Himitsu)

"A delicate mauve-tinted secret behind teeth. The whisper of violets and heliotrope—a flushed purple flower casts a shadow over the sweetness of saffron. The comforting powdery silkiness of suede and tolu balsam linger longer.

The inspiration for this fragrance comes from a perfectly still, slightly chilly spring morning spent soaking in a tub at the Tawaraya in Kyoto. It pulls together our memory of the mosses and trees outdoors and sharp notes of the boxy, hinoki tub.

Hip Hop Raised Me is the definitive volume on the essence, experience, and energy that is hip hop, and its massive and enduring impact over the last forty years. It’s packed with contact sheets, outtakes, and glory shots of artists, collectives, and fans from iconic photographers including Martha Cooper, Henry Chalfant, Eddie Otchere, Normski, Janette Beckman, Chi Modu, Nabil Elderkin, and Mark Humphrey, as well as photographs of hip-hop ephemera and vinyl courtesy of specialist collectors. With the help of his definitive catalogue of interviews with hip-hop artists from the 1990s to today, conducted at key moments in their careers and including Jay-Z, Kanye West, Eminem, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, Drake, Nicki Minaj, J Cole, Kendrick Lamar, Nas, and the Wu-Tang Clan, DJ Semtex examines the crucial role of hip hop in society. He reflects on the huge influence it has had on his own life and the lives of many others, providing inspiration to generation after generation of young people. Taking a thematic approach, Semtex traces the characteristics and influence of hip hop from its origins in the early 1970s with DJ Kool Herc’s block parties in the South Bronx, through its breakthrough to the mainstream and advent of gangsta rap in the late 1980s, with artists such as Run DMC, Public Enemy, and Ice T, to the impact of contemporary artists and the global industry that is hip hop today.
