This multidisciplinary collection of eighteen essays was presented at the conference of the same name. It explores the complex and significant role of contemporary craft in society. The authors show how linguistic and feminist studies are tools for understanding craft. Historical analysis highlights how education, architecture, and industrial design have influenced craft products and our perceptions of them. Social and cultural anthropology show how craft expresses backgrounds of its makers. And ethnology and museum studies reveal the assumptions used in collecting, identifying and exhibiting craft.

Metiers d Art Show is a fashion book. The show was an homage to Barrie Knitwear, the company specializing in cashmere which was purchased by Chanel the same year and became a Métiers d'Art company. Chanel made history as the first European luxury brand to stage a fashion show in sub-Saharan Africa, unveiling its Métiers d'Art collection here on Tuesday as part of a three-day program of cultural events in the capital of Senegal. Guests including Pharrell Williams, Naomi Campbell, Whitney Peak, Nile Rodgers, Princess Caroline of Monaco and her daughter Charlotte Casiraghi attended the show, which was held at the Brutalist-style former Palace of Justice, which in recent years has hosted the Dakar Biennale. Models paraded in '70s-inspired pantsuits topped with beaded vests and skirts in geometric motifs that nodded to the flamboyant Congolese style subculture of the sapeurs. Flared jeans, platform shoes and tiered skirts cast a retro glow over the lineup, which drew a roar of approval from the 850 guests.
