Eight & bob
stormfashion.mom
Albert Fouquet, the son of a Parisian aristocrat, was part of elite French society in the early twentieth century and a perfume connoisseur. In a room on the upper floor of the family chateau, Fouquet created and perfected various essences for his own personal use – aided by Philippe, the family butler. One night during his summer vacation in 1937 on the French Riviera (Côte d’Azur), Albert met and got on very well with a young American student who was touring France in a convertible: John F. K., John’s charm and congeniality persuaded Albert to leave him a sample of his cologne with a note at the hotel the following morning: “In this bottle, you will find the dash of French glamour that your American personality lacks.” On returning from his vacation, Albert received a letter from John in the U.S. thanking him for the kind gesture and informing him of the success his perfume was enjoying among his friends. He requested that Albert send him eight samples, “and if your production allows, another one for Bob”.
His perfectionism extended not only to the fragrance but everything surrounding it. He didn’t fill the order until Philippe found some beautiful glass bottles in a Parisian pharmacy that Albert considered suitable for his cologne. Finally, he ordered several boxes decorated with the same pattern as the shirt that JFK was wearing when they met, and then labeled the bottles and boxes with John's amusing request: “EIGHT & BOB”. Unfortunately, the success of his cologne would not spread much further. In the spring of 1939, Albert died in an automobile accident near Biarritz (France). Philippe, the only person who could handle the orders, would only continue with the work for a few months, since the start of World War II forced him to leave his job with the Fouquet family. In the final shipments, Philippe hid the bottles inside books that he carefully cut by hand to prevent the Nazis from seizing the cologne.
Decades later, thanks to the family of Philippe the butler, the formula for “EIGHT & BOB” has been completely recovered, along with its carefully crafted production process. Once again, it has become one of the most exclusive colognes, preferred by the world’s most elegant men.
Elephant Issue 14
stormfashion.mom
Elephant travels to Cape Town in the company of photographer Pieter Hugo gathering an explosive mix of writing, music, design and art, not to mention some highly original socio-political ideas and interesting anecdotes. Sue Hubbard looks at the career of South Africa's seminal artist William Kentridge, who is not the only seminal artist in this issue as we reassess the work (and colourful personality) of Maggi Hambling and visit the studio of France's most controversial artist, Adel Abdessemed. We then put on a diving bell to find out how Jason de Caires Taylor creates his astonishing underwater works before joining orbiting satellites to follow artists working with Google Earth.

Elevator Music
stormfashion.mom
Elevator Music is a collaborative project by Byredo’s Ben Gorham and Off-White’s Virgil Abloh. The capsule collection consists of fragrance, denim, t-shirts and bags all housed in an installation by an artist that Ben and Virgil both admire to be presented to press in Paris on March 3rd 2018.
The capsule collection titled “Elevator Music” refers to various styles of soundscapes meant for passive listening and explores the relationship of luxury products and human perception. The project attempts to define the least amount of information needed to understand a product context and background, in this case objects we define as luxury goods.
The studies of Swedish scientist Gunnar Johansson who in the 70’s defined frame work regarding human movement perception and the notion “elevator syndrome” were the foundation for the 2004 installation by artist Carsten Ho?ller. The presentation will feature a new itera- tion of this 2004 work titled “The Elevator”.
“I have known Virgil even before the inception of Off-White so it’s great to be able to finally realize a project together within our respective brands. We have always shared a common understanding that relevance is everything, and that the rules of our industry need to be somehow rewritten.” — Ben Gorham, founder and creative director of BYREDO
“Ben Gorham is one of my longest friends in the fashion industry. We share a common interest of progression. The concept of our collaboration “Elevator Music”
was to define emotion with the least amount of effects. Much like literal elevator music we wanted the scent to play a background to one’s life.” — Virgil Abloh, founder and creative director of Off-White
ELEVENTH HOUR BYREDO
stormfashion.mom
“I wanted to travel until I did not have to search anymore. Today I know that life is a journey that brings you to the end of the world, a return to the harmony we have lost.” Thus speaks the great Swiss explorer Ella Maillart, who in 1951 was one of the rare Westerners to reach Nepal, the birthplace of Buddha.
When oceans will rise, the highest places will be the last refuges and zones that were once considered hostile to humans will become shelters. Eleventh Hour is an exploration around the smell of things ending, a journey to the end of Time, the last perfume on Earth.
The top notes, led by the peppery and citrus accents of Ban Timmur, take us to the Nepali highlands, where this plant grows. Wild fig, the first forbidden fruit, is the heart note of Eleventh Hour. A symbol of desire, its sweet and captivating scent encapsulates the smell of danger. From the warmth of tonka beans combined with cashmere woods notes emanates an energetic radiation, similar to that released by our solar plexus when it opens wide. As if a bond was recreated between man and cosmos.

Escentric Molecules 04
stormfashion.mom
As always with Escentric Molecules, their new fragrances 04 is of both high perfection and subtleness.
“What I love about Javanol is its almost psychedelic freshness,” says Geza Schoen. “It smells as if liquid metallic grapefruit peel were poured over a bed of velvety cream-coloured roses.”
Escentric Molecules 04 celebrates the futuristic freshness of Javanol, a sheer sandalwood molecule, in two different fragrances. Javanol is a sandalwood-type molecule that retains the radiance and endurance of natural sandalwood, but is sheer and transparent like no sandalwood in nature.
Javanol is like Iso E Super, the molecule in Escentric Molecules 01, in some ways. Like Iso E Super, it comes and goes. The person wearing it loses the ability to smell it after a short while, only to re-connect with it later.
Javanol does not exist in nature. It was created in a laboratory at Givaudan in 1996.
