The World’s Sweetest Fabrics

In
our contest this week we asked designers to turn their attention to
cookies, cakes & candy that we can admire without actually eating.
The result was a tasty array of lovely fabrics, with the winning spot
going to "bonbon," a fabric by French designer Helene Michau. Congratulations to Helene and to the rest of the entrants who finished in the top ten!
