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.
Launching today, 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.
The range will be available worldwide from www.antheacrawford.com.au, as well as David Jones and Myer department stores across Australia, with prices ranging from AUD $149 to $699. The first 500 customers to purchase through the Anthea Crawford website will also receive a complimentary ‘Sunflowers’ sketch tote bag.
“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.”
