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.

“In rifleing the closet of the ladie, they found a pipe of oyntement, wherewith she greased a staffe, upon which she ambled and galloped through thick and thin, when and in what manner she listed”
– Proceedings Against Dame Alice Kyteler, Prosecuted for Sorcery, 1324
Hexensalbe, also known as witches’ flying ointment, was a hallucinogenic salve used in witchcraft in the middle ages. It was a mixture of extremely poisonous ingredients.
The drug produced an ecstatic trance with powerful sensations of flying, images of otherworldly creatures and a primal sexual hunger. These hallucinations are at the core of the mythology of witches, where they fly to the sabbath at Blåkulla or Brocken to do it with the devil and other witches in unholy rites.
So, the image of witches flying can be traced back to the use of hexensalbe, but why on a broomstick? The ointment was so poisonous that eating it would be directly fatal, instead it was applied to other soft membranes of the body, armpits and more commonly the genitals. Because of the erotic effects of the high, the salve would often be rubbed directly onto a phallic object like the end of a staff or a broomstick. And so, the witch did not ride the broomstick like we picture her today. She actually -really- rode it.
Given which aspects of the story of hexensalbe has survived into the modern image of witches, and what has been suppressed, it would seem that the one thing more terrifying than witches or devils, is female sexuality.

19-69
The 19-69 fragrance Higher Peace is inspired by the Santa Monica Canyon and the documentary Tripping with Ken Kesey.
The scent is hempy, bladed and Play-Doh-y.
“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.”
Top notes: Davana, Bergamot, Cardamon
Mid notes: Hemp, Coumarin, Fresh Hay
Base notes: Vetiver, Tobacco, Benzoin

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

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.
