“Karl Lagerfeld is a true book lover - his library holds more than 300,000 books. The designer also owns a book publishing company, Edition 7L, and runs his own bookstore, 7. Maybe that’s why he developed the new fragrance – Paper Passion.

The scent shall smell like ink on paper and has been developed in cooperation with Geza Schön, a perfumer from Berlin. The fragrance is packaed in a hardcover book which is desgined in collaboration with Gerhard Steidl, Lagerfeld’s Edition 7L partner. 

Hidden inside the pages of a book, Paper Passion is accompanied by texts from Karl Lagerfeld, Günter Grass, Geza Schoen and Tony Chambers.” (via)

Wonderland Series by Kirsty Mitchell

Kirsty Mitchell’s late mother Maureen was an English teacher who spent her life inspiring generations of children with imaginative stories and plays. Following Maureen’s death from a brain tumour in 2008, Kirsty channelled her grief into her passion for photography.

She retreated behind the lens of her camera and created Wonderland, an ethereal fantasy world. The photographic series began as a small summer project but grew into an inspirational creative journey. ‘Real life became a difficult place to deal with, and I found myself retreating further into an alternative existence through the portal of my camera,’ said the artist.

Paper is everywhere and now it is evolving into a new dimension.
