You’re more than welcome – excellent work. I like how your book is nestled in between 2 other ‘foiled’ projects on the front page of SI :)

Care to elaborate on the concept behind the Dace Lookbook? I’m really intrigued by that pattern.

The idea behind the Dace Lookbook pattern originated from another project I did for her (a pattern for an hand-knitted sweater, that didn’t come out because it was too complicated to make by hand).
This pattern was based on a Bauhaus textile pattern by Anni Albers from 1926 (http://tinyurl.com/3yryxgw).
I liked the idea to develop something that plays with structured forms in an unstructured environment.
