Last sunday I was looking at some fashion shows online.
The Chanel show was so amazing.
Not really the clothes, but the scenery.
They had filled a staircase with paper flowers.Must have been like 1000's of them.
So beautiful.
So I started cutting paper flowers of my own.
Decided to use them in a story I was shooting with Ellen Silverman two days later.
Just love the black with the golden caramel color.
Paul, this is so beautiful! I absolutely love the contrast of both colors, too - love the color combo!
The paper flowers are adorable and delicate and set the mood perfectly.

OK, OK. So you really DO know how to do it all, don't you? Lovely. Just lovely! Having the black flowers on top of black backgrounds gives the impression of a rich texture without being too over the top. Understated but elegant...with just the hint of luxury. Great work, Paul. I'm not surprised in the least! :)

Vilket härligt reportage.
Läste den norska inredningstidningen Interiör Magasinet i dag och så en annan fantastisk reportage som du hade gjort.
