Have you ever seen an anik-anik girlie, and want to ask, "Where did you get that?"
If you’re anything like me (someone who loves a little extra in every corner of their wardrobe), then the Jellyfish Kisses x Artwork collaboration will be your new obsession. We’re talking micro tote bags, sketchbooks, t-shirts that look like they’ve walked straight out of a neon-lit art gallery, and, of course, all the anik-anik you can handle. It’s pure joy for anyone who believes in the power of charms, ribbons, and coin purses to make or break an outfit.
I had the chance to catch up with the creative genius behind the collection, Jellyfish Kisses, and let me just say—she’s just as fun and eclectic as her designs!
The HEARTCORE Collection
For the HEARTCORE Collection, Jellyfish Kisses drew on themes of nostalgia and core memories, inspired by her long-standing connection with the brand and her own artistic journey over the past decade. The collection includes classic Artwork items like t-shirts and totes, but with fun new twists—like micro tote bags, laptop sleeves, hair ribbons, and coin purses.
A standout piece is the "I DON'T LOVE YOU ANYMORE" t-shirt, a direct nod to one of her neon installation works from Art Fair 2020. Through HEARTCORE, she aims to appeal to both maximalists and minimalists alike, hoping her designs inspire self-expression and showcase the magic of the Artwork brand that once inspired her as a young artist in college.
"Nostalgia is a big theme in this collection because i've had a strong connection with the brand especially when i was younger and still developing my voice as an artist," they shared. "It's also my 10th year doing Art. I took bits and pieces from different shows i've done and turned them into these designs."
Anik-anik for everyone!
Jellyfish Kisses sees her collection as something for everyone. “This collection is a love letter to people who love my work,” she shares. Whether you're a maximalist who loves layering every charm, ribbon, and accessory you can find, or a minimalist who prefers a more subtle approach, the pieces adapt to your personal style. She hopes the collection showcases the magic of the brand that inspired her as a young artist. “I still remember being in college and discovering ARTWORK for the first time. It really pushed me to create and express myself through art,” she reflects, hoping her designs will inspire others in the same way.
The HEARTCORE Collection is now available in Artwork stores. So, whether you’re on the hunt for a new favorite tee or a micro tote bag to show off your anik-anik obsession, you can head to the nearest store!
