THE RING BEARER
Nicholas Askew is part of the fourth
generation to grow up on his family’s
North Carolina cotton farm, but the
designer is using the familiar plant in
a whole new way, turning the crop
into wreaths that are simple, season-
less, and absolutely stunning.

Cream
of the Crop
A cotton wreath
can call to mind a
snowy-white winter,
autumn’s harvest,
even the froth of sea
foam in summer—
making it a chic
choice year-round.
