Anthropologie is really just cranking out the projects right now. Last night we stopped by the launch party for their new site, The Anthropologist which asks the question, “What is inspiration?” and then answers it with the works of its first three chosen artists: David Eustace, Andrew Zuckerman, and Jane Campion.
Basically it’s an online gallery that will showcase different pieces of art. We like anything that provides a showcase for art and photography, though we’re still not quite sure what this has to do with the clothes.
This morning brings another collaboration announcement from the company—this time with Koi Suwannagate. The line will be called Lawan (Thai for “beautiful) and include four pieces (a gown, two cardigans, and a top). I’ve been a fan of the designer and her amazing appliques since I first became aware of her when Gwyneth donned one of her amazing sweaters many, many years ago. My budget has not been a fan of her prices, so needless to say I’m psyched for more affordable options.
Also, we like seeing anyone’s business expanding. Yay for economic turnaround!

wow, at first I was excited to see this post. I have a BA in physical anthropology! How embarrassing for me to realize a corporate chain bought out such a strong domain name to showcase fug sweaters instead of actual "anthropological" news. They should have stuck with their misspelling as to continue to misrepresent and shame an actual science. It's a sad sad day for the world of academia.
