Anthropologie has partnered with Moleskine to launch a limited-edition journal collection featuring cover designs by YoungArts alumni. As a supporter of YoungArts, the national foundation for the advancement of artists, Anthropologie is committed to fostering the arts and investing in the next generation of creatives.
The journals feature artwork from three talented YoungArts alumni, each of whom brings their personal story and creative journey to the designs. The artists are Camryn Sydnor, a Catonsville, Md.-based photographer and multidisciplinary artist who reinterprets nature’s beauty through organic forms and modern compositions, blending photography, painting, sculpture and digital arts; Brittany Warren, a Houston-based artist who blends printmaking, ceramics and found objects to explore natural cycles and movement, inspired by the graceful fluidity of koi fish, and Maria Useche, a New York-based art director and designer whose work explores the immigrant diaspora and power of community, using digital media to amplify Latin American narratives.
“At Anthropologie, creativity is at the center of everything we do,” said Kate Haldy, head of PR, communications and impact at Anthropologie Group. “This collaboration represents a natural extension of our long-standing commitment to supporting emerging talent, and we’re proud to partner with Moleskine to bring these one-of-a-kind journals to life. We’re excited to spotlight these incredible artists across our platforms and introduce them to our wonderful community.”
The Anthropologie x Moleskine Exclusive Journal Collection is available to order online at anthropologie.com starting Tuesday and will start rolling out in stores next week. The journals retail for $28. It’s the first time Anthropologie and Moleskine have collaborated.
“Our partnership with Anthropologie continues to have an incredible impact on YoungArts and the artists we serve,” said Angela Goding, senior director, strategic partnerships at YoungArts. She anticipates this special collection with Moleskine “will bring career-boosting visibility to the outstanding work of Brittany, Camryn and Marie, and will help share the mission and work of YoungArts nationally.”
Ward Simmons, president of Moleskine America, added, “Moleskine is not just a notebook. For over two centuries, Moleskine has provided artists the freedom to express their true self and a way to connect with others on each page. Our mission is to support the next generation of the human genius through our Moleskine Loves Students campaign. Partnering with Anthropologie and YoungArts only furthers our mission to connect with students and the geniuses of tomorrow.”
