Highsnobiety is a global fashion and lifestyle media brand founded in 2005 by David Fischer. The youth-focused company is difficult to pigeonhole, as it straddles the line between a media company that reviews fashion and lifestyle products, a clothing company that sells its own clothing lines, and a creative agency that advises other companies how to market their own fashion and lifestyle products.[1]
