The book Dior Couture by Patrick Demarchelier has not found its way to my bookshelf yet, but for today I have thought to share a few of Demarchelier’s extraordinary shots intermingled with some original ideas for holiday packaging and styling.

Wonderful presentation of haute couture and wrapping! So masterly! Simply an inspiration in black and white with some touches of color.
Gorgeous and very elegant mix of all the things beautiful!!! Hope you are having a wonderful day, darling. xxx
Beautiful pictures! Very elegant! xoxo
Lovely, Ada! You are all about Christmas these days! I like it a lot! Write to Santa to bring you the book ;)!
Beautiful, I love gray and white and the wrapping ideas are gorgeous–my favorite one with the clear over black tissue wrapped around the bottle–makes me think of the wild goose chase we were on to track down clear wrap for the polish trios…they’ve stopped making it here for the most part, although we finally found some, and that reminds me I need to stock up on it before valentine’s day!
Hope you are having a lovely day Ada!

Oh how beautiful, my wrapping aways lets me down, I can never find what I want in the shops here.
What a beautiful spread you did here of photos mixed with wrapping paper, I can only hope I can create something as beautiful when I start wrapping gifts!
lovely choices!
