Woolrich Casts NYU Tisch Students and Faculty

We’re proud to announce a recent collaboration with Woolrich featuring NYU Tisch students and faculty.

“It was an honor to work with NYU Tisch for our SS19 campaign. Showcasing the next class of visionary artists in this series of images and short videos will immortalize their talent for generations to come. As a brand, we are proud to work with such gifted individuals who are pushing the boundaries of creative thought.” – Andrea Cané, Woolrich Creative Director

In an effort to support the visionary school and the next generation of artists through the platform of this campaign and beyond, Woolrich also provided a grant to the NYU Tisch Future Artists program, a free 14-week immersive experience for high school students who lack access to arts education, qualify for financial aid, and are traditionally underrepresented in the industry.

The campaign features a diverse cast whose unique talents speak to the importance of an arts education within the United States. Shot in New York City by Jack Davison with styling by Mel Ottenberg, the campaign reinforces Woolrich’s reputation as true pioneers of American workwear and outdoor gear. In a clever twist and nod to the well-known purple NYU logo, the campaign blends both Woolrich’s new collection and NYU brand clothing.
