From Mexico, the Modern Inspired by the Traditional

The collection also includes a portable barware set called the Science Series Bullet ($455). The six hand-blown shot glasses, housed in an ordnance- shaped case, were inspired by the silver or copper cups that men once attached to their belts and used for drinking at parties or picnics. The set was created in collaboration with Yoko Devereaux, a Brooklyn clothing company, for its 2007-2008 fall-winter collection. (Photo: Tony Cenicola/The New York Times)
