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.

It was bought by Zalando in 2022. [2] It is headquartered in Berlin and has offices in Amsterdam, London, Milan, New York, Los Angeles and Sydney. Highsnobiety has a digital-first publishing approach. The print magazine first launched in 2010, with quarterly issues published globally.
