Paper passion: Wallpapers perfume book by Karl Lagerfeld

paper passion perfume by steidelpurchased at liberty of london


well this looks very familiar! i think pp and kl may remember that…. i was in london few weeks ago and ran into this little lovely. i haven’t even smelled it yet but i guess i am the book lover they were after. the secret cut out book with hidden perfume bottle is beautifully produced by book publisher steidel. karl lagerfeld added a bit of cred but wall paper ruined the party a bit for me. nice still. by uh

system-mag-1very happy to find out yesterday about thomas lenthal’s new editorial adventure since Paradis mag is definetly not around enough to quench our thirst . the crew around this project is quite exciting: beside mr lenthal (ex numero/paradis mag) is marie amelie sauve (ex balenciaga), elizabeth von guttman & alexia niedzielski (both industry mag) and jonathan winfield (ex numero)…

as it can be expected from this team, system is not another fashion mag but rather talking about the behind the scene of the industry which is great and definitely needed. so the first issue is out in may and is featuring the first interview post balenciaga of designer nicolas ghesquiere. more about it here. by pp.

…is an aphorism or a collection of such aphorisms in the form of a manual, or more broadly, a text in hinduism or buddhism, literally meaning a thread or line that holds things together. it is also a current performance at sadler’s wells in london.  i very much envy those who have the opportunity to experience. inspired by the serenity of shaolin monks from china, choreographer sidi larbi cherkaoui decided to collaborate with them for an hour-long piece for the stage. by kl
