Anthea Crawford Partners with Van Gogh Museum for 45th Anniversary
In celebration of the Anthea Crawford brand’s 45th anniversary, the Australian womenswear designer has partnered with the Van Gogh Museum to launch a limited-edition autumn/winter 2021 collection, in a deal brokered by IMG.
Set to launch 14 May 2021, the new line will feature Vincent van Gogh‘s iconic artwork, bold colours, and signature styles in a 19-piece collection of dresses, blouses, T-shirts, trousers, coats, and jackets.
“It’s our 45th year of Australian style and to celebrate we have collaborated with the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam,” said an Anthea Crawford spokesperson. “Timeless beauty, expressive colour and irresistible texture plays have always been central to Anthea’s vision. It’s been a great honour to work so intimately with the priceless masterpieces of Vincent van Gogh, which have inspired us for so many years.”
Mark Minkman, Managing Director (a.i.), Van Gogh Museum, commented: “We are very proud to collaborate with Anthea Crawford and develop these sophisticated garments together, especially in these challenging times. This partnership enables us to inspire people with the art and heritage of Vincent van Gogh combined with the quality and characteristic prints of Anthea Crawford. Every purchase of this Anthea Crawford x Van Gogh Museum collection supports the work of the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam.”
Diana De Jesus, Licensing Manager, IMG, added: “Vincent van Gogh’s work has become a mainstay of culture and the Van Gogh Museum’s mission is to inspire present and future generations by making it more accessible. We are really excited to see the launch of this collaboration with Anthea Crawford, which perfectly captures the iconic beauty and legacy of Van Gogh’s exceptional prints.”
A portion of proceeds from each purchase will support the work of the Van Gogh Museum which houses more than 200 Vincent van Gogh paintings, 500 drawings, and 700 written documents.
