Hippie Rose
James Heeley
The rising sun of a new, care-free day. A warm wind filtering through the Californian desert. The perfumed air of a Himalayan temple. Waves of long, shining hair flicker over dust and sand and soft, tanned skin. Freedom is not far. Against a rose coloured sky of dusk, we dream of love and peace and better days.

Athenean
James Heeley
According to ancient Greek mythology, the first fig tree was created when the rebellious Sykeus was turned into the same by his mother, Gaia, Goddess of the Earth, saving him from the wrath of Zeus.
‘Athenean’ is a reworking of ‘Figuier’, one of the earlier scents in the collection. Here, the emphasis is on the fragrant wood of the fig tree. Aquatic green notes are balanced with warm, undertones of sandalwood, musk and amber.

Jean-Michel Basquiat:
Crossroads
Lee Jaffe, a cross-disciplinary visual artist, musician, and poet, took photos of his friend, Jean-Michel Basquiat, when they traveled abroad in 1983. As a photographer, Jaffe had a connection to Basquiat, and their time spent together resulted in an archive of imagery that captured one of the art world’s true legends through an unfiltered and authentic lens.
Basquiat and Jaffe connected over reggae music at a mutual friend’s art show. It was the early 1980s in New York, when the art scene was raw, complicated, and thriving, and Jaffe cultivated strong connections with cultural figures such as Basquiat, Bob Marley, and Peter Tosh. “For me, watching him [ Jean] paint reminded me of the times I would sit and play harmonica while Bob Marley, with his acoustic guitar, would be writing songs that were eventually to become classics,” Jaffe says. “With Jean and Bob, it seemed like they were channeling inspiration coming from an otherworldly place.” This beautiful volume presents snapshots of Basquiat: from the artist smiling on a bullet train to Kyoto and behind-the-scenes documentation of Basquiat creating artwork in St. Moritz, to poignant portraits that mirror his undeniable magnetism. These rare depictions of Basquiat come to life with Jaffe’s unforgettable experiences of their friendship, collaborations, and travels detailed in private written memories and anecdotes. This insightful and moving illustrated volume captures the soul of the unedited, ambitious, young artist during the height of his short yet unprecedented artistic career.

Nike, Better is Temporary:
Sam Grawe
Phaidon commemorates the company's influence with Nike: Better is Temporary, a landmark publication that charts Nike's transformation from rebellious upstart to global phenomenon.
This immersive visual survey offers an unprecedented, behind-the-scenes exploration into Nike's ethos-driven design formula, placing industry-defining innovations and globally recognized products alongside previously unpublished designs, prototypes, insider stories, and more.
Beginning with "Breaking2," an introduction detailing Nike's 2017 attempt to facilitate a sub-two-hour marathon, the book lays out in five thematic chapters Nike's focus on performance, brand expression, collaboration, inclusive design, and sustainability.
The book's extraordinary design also nods to its contents. The striking cover features overlapping silkscreened layers of Nike's proprietary Volt yellow and Hyperpunch pink colors overlaying an image of world-champion marathoner Eliud Kipchoge printed in a half-tone dot pattern. The book's spine, visible through the clear jacket, showcases a series of colored tabs that extend from its interior pages and which are referenced in the book's bonus chapter, "Crafting Color."
Specifications - Hardback. 320 pages.
Zero
CDG
ZERO is a radical expression of simplicity. A reset. The origin of a new perspective: the antithesis of excess.
An exploration of freedom found within purposeful parameters. Carbon neutrality embraced as a formative concept; the foundational motif of a fragrance. Every element shaped by reduction. The clarity of restraint.
Fewer ingredients: a shorter formula, meticulously assembled. At once in line with the Comme des Garçons fragrance philosophy and the preservation of resources.
Rich, natural cedarwood – hand-harvested and extracted using hydroelectric power – enlivened by a fresh breeze of Bergamot. The raw seduction of musk and equitably-sourced Haitian vetiver patchworked against illusory beauty: an overdose of synthetic rose, a varnish accord.
A subversive harmony of dichotomies. An untraceable wood.
Comme des Garçons’ iconic pebble reconsidered within a new framework.
A fully-recyclable glass vessel. The bare minimum of printing. Black ink and FSC-qualified paper.
A balance sought between maximal sensory impact and minimal environmental consequence
