Founder & creative director, Anja Kroencke was born in Vienna, Austria, where she studied Textile Design and Fashion Illustration. After graduation, she pursued a career in graphic design and at age 25 relocated to New York City. There she quickly moved from design & art director to a successful career as a fashion illustrator. The paper dolls were born when Anja’s eldest daughter was home for weeks, recuperating from a concussion, with electronics of any kind forbidden. The two of them spent hours drawing and crafting and creating stories. And so, Of Unusual Kind was born. This unusual collection of paper dolls is a powerful celebration of women and girls, of artistic freedom, vivid color and individuality, all beautifully illustrated to inspire flights of fancy. It celebrates diversity, creativity and the joy of self expression and encourages young children to create their own style and let their imagination play. Each doll and every single piece of the wardrobe are hand illustrated, printed in the United States, and hand assembled in NYC.
