Best Craftsperson
Elizabeth Anyaa was already known for the incredible handmade fabrics she used in her fashions when she stumbled into the world of home accessories. “I thought I would make some pillows, and that flowed into a home collection,” she told us last summer. “I also make throws and pieces for the walls.” Anyaa draws inspiration from nature—especially clouds. “I think I have a photographic memory of what they used to look like when I was a kid,” the West Africa native says. Her pillows come in different sizes, and she’s happy to match colors or hand-paint a design based on a client’s needs or wants. elizabethanyaa.com.
