Good morning everyone and Happy Thursday! Today is the day we have been waiting for! Anthro has released Made in Kind which includes 11 Exclusive and Limited-Edition Collections with designers ranging from Karen Walker to Amanda and Doug Butterworth. All lines are different and are just breathtakingly beautiful. I am loving the designs by Karen Walker, Koto Bolofo, and John Patrick. So much eye candy! See any items you will be purchasing from these limited-edition collections?
Though techniqually an illustrator and designer by trade, we consider Florence Balducci to be a professional imanginer. Her illustrators are whismy defined (pictures of tuxedo-clad woodpeckers and cat fashionistas come to mind) and her collection of one-of-a-kind embelished jackets suggests a magpie's for all things charming, peculilar and chic.

Collection 2 > Gregory by Gregory Parkinson
British designer Gregory Parkinson has been evolving his namesake line from his adopted Southern California home since its launch in 1996. Fitting, then, that this trademark mix of beachy colors and hand-dyed patterns is the wearable equivilant of year-round sunshine.

Collection 3 > Hello There by Karen Walker
Karen Walker has been designing clothes ever since she made her first circle skirt for her Barbie doll a the age of seven. She's come a long way since then, expanding her creations to a full line of clothing, accessories and decor, all based on an undying love of patterns and color mixed together every which way.

Collection 4 > Koto Bolofo
Having worked for Vogue, GQ and Vanity Fair and with a slew of books under his belt, Koto Bolofo is justifiably revered as a photography and filmaker. Now he can add "inspiring clothing designer" to his resume. We were so enamored of his collection of one-of-a-kind garments crafted from vintage French line sheets that we pleaded for a few more. This limted-edition line is based off of those very designs, and it embodies the same reverance for material and craft and his spellbinding originals.

Collection 5 > O by Organic
Designer John Patrick began his exploration of organic materials in 2002, and four years later he launched a line comprised entirely of eco-friendly fabrics. Today, he continues to push the envelope with O By Organic, a line of effortless pieces that meld ethics and aesthetics more beautifully than ever.

Collection 6 > Place Nationale
Husband-and-wife team Amanda and Doug Butterworth got their start selling a curated collection of vintage clothes in London's Portobello Market; their new line builds upon the encyclopedic knowledge of throwback fabrics they acquired as a result. Each piece is an assembly of antique and vintage materials, and a single design can be a real history lesson: one camisole is comprised of antique embroidered French cotton, 70s cutwork tablecloth fabric and vintage English lace trim.

Collection 7 > Pipit
Dustin Horowitz has creativity in his bones. With a degree in fashion design from FIT, a fine art degree from Parsons and over a decade of design experience to his name, he launched Pipit in 2007 on an undeniably solid foundation. Each piece from the line marries themes of industrial design and traditional American craft in a wearable, truly modern way.

Collection 8 > Rachel Rose
Rachel Rose began her career as a print designer, creating stunning motifs for other people's clothing lines. In the early days of 2011, however, she realized she could create entirely on her own terms and her eponymous line was born. Hand-painted silk is the line's hallmark, and understandably so: Rose exclusively studied silk painting at FIT, and her aqueous, dappled designs are the captivating result.

Collection 9 > Swarm
It's a lucky flea-market trinket that finds its way into the hands of Leslie Oschmann, an American artist and designer who now calls Amsterdam home. Never taking for granted what many pass by, she sees old canvas mailbags, discarded fabric scraps and oil paintings as the means to her artful ends, and transforms each into a work of functional, wearable art.

Collection 10 >Treasure by Samantha Pleet
Samantha Pleet has honed in on the effortless cool of New York's most enviably dressed. With a degree from Pratt's fashion program in hand, she launched her eponymous line in 2006 and has been turning out collections of covetable, feminine-yet-utterly-modern clothing ever since.

Collection 11 >Zoologist by Charlotte Linton
Dueling childhood dreams of becoming a fashion designer or an archaeologist have both come to fruition for Charlotte Linton, the England native whose namesake line is something of a marriage of both. Each collection is based upon the travels of a fictional muse named Ermantrude, a zoologist who fearlessly globe trots and wears her travels on her beautifully patterned sleeve. Linton's background in print design is on display in every piece, delivering a souvenir of Ermantrude's imagined travels to every wearer.
