- Summary:
- "The art of craft is often a source of inspiration for designers. In this issue of Elements of Style, we investigate the world's finest crafts. In South Africa, we tag along with designer Craig Native as he visits the Kwa Mai Mai, a rustic marketplace where healers still make traditional medicines and artisans painstakingly create beautiful crafts from humble materials. Natalie Chanin of Project Alabama makes a documentary about the Ladies of the South who quilted all their lives. And the art of knitting is resurrected by Swedish-born Suss Cousins who has opened Suss Designs in L.A. Step into the gilded age with French jewelry designer Herve Van Der Straeten. Daria Razumikhina has transformed her Russian heritage into one-of-kind designs and Estelle Yomeda creates hand crafted shoes that Bjork loves."--Publisher website.
