L.A.'s Craft & Folk Art Museum


A few days ago, I attended the Wearable Art Preview and Cocktail Reception at the Craft & Folk Art Museum.   There were a handful of textile designers and a couple of  jewelry designers at the Trunk Show.  The construction quality of the handmade one-of-a-kind garments and accessories were impeccable; and the jewelry was flawlessly made. I didn't see any single inspiring design idea, but  I enjoyed the hand-loomed silk textiles and the luxurious fabrics.  Wasn't able to take photos of the artisans work.  But, I did visit the museum's gift shop.  There were a lot of interesting things to see and buy.  Below "are a few photos:"
