To support the launch of their latest fragrance for men, Infusion d'Homme, Prada has commissioned nine short films from "rising directors". The films were "inspired by the sensory associations of the Infusion d'Homme perfume".
You can watch them at the Prada website (look under "Projects" on the menu). (quotes via prada, found via wwd)
I have only been on vacation a few days, and I've already managed to lose track of what day it is…so here is the Monday mail, one day late. This week's subject is Namita, who comments here as Nam. Here is what we know about Namita:

They have all kinds of lovely organic ingredients, and are pretty reasonably priced (very much so when compared to high-end lines!).
