Love this…

02/09/2009

…gorgeous and unbelievably romantic Valentine's Day screenprint from Rob Ryan:

1x1.trans Love this...
{click to enlarge and read}

When I see you from across a crowded room my heart skips a beat when I
get nearer to the place where I think you might be my heart starts to
thump – will you be there? Will you be there? Will you be there? And
then as if by a miracle, the clouds part and the sun pours out from
behind a curtain of grey and suddenly you are there… my throat goes
dry, my legs turn to jelly and even now as I write this my hands begin
to tremble at merely the memory. I think you have a nice smile. I think
you look kind. I don't want to be alone with my thoughts. Would you?
Could you? Be my Valentine?

{from here}

Paper flowers on the runway…

02/04/2009

Wow.  These photos of the paper flowers lining the runway and draped throughout the venue of the Chanel Spring 2008 Haute Couture are just stunning:

From the Chanel website: The grandiose décor was made up of monochrome arrangements of roses, daisies, leaves and petals winding their way up around the room's 32 impressive columns and draped over the railings of the entry stairway where the models appeared. [...] All in all, there were 7,000 handmade paper flowers, which took a total of 4,800 hours of work to assembly, 4,000 m2 of paper were needed to create these ephemeral sculptures, all in one color, or more aptly the non-color preference for Mlle Chanel.

And a couple of photos of the paper tiaras worn by the models during the show:

Also according to the Chanel website, paper actually served as the inspiration for this collection, with Karl Lagerfeld quoted as saying "I love paper! Everything begins on paper. Without paper I would be lost!"

Excellent. And so, so lovely.
