The Main Event: Hadiya Williams’s Collaboration With Lulu and Georgia
Bold asymmetrical prints, textural materials, and African diasporic inspiration make up the winning trifecta in this new collaboration between Washington, D.C.–based artist-designer Hadiya Williams and retailer Lulu and Georgia. The collection includes graphic linen napkins, hemp throw pillows, clay wall hangings, and textile art—all in a rich, earthy palette of brown, ivory, rust, and black. Each piece holds timeless cultural appeal and individuality. —Kenya Foy, staff writer

At new New York City wellness retreat Sage + Sound, the facial suite alone rivals many a studio apartment.
