What to know about ioannes
Berlin-based womenswear label founded in 2019 in Paris by German designer Johannes Boehl Cronau, who studied at Parsons and Central Saint Martins and worked in Haider Ackermann's atelier. Collections combine draped jersey dresses, tailoring and knitwear with classical art references, romanticism and 1990s minimalism. The label debuted at Palais de Tokyo with Net-a-Porter as launch partner, made its Berlin Fashion Week debut in July 2025 at Charlottenburg Palace, and showed the apokalypsis collection in February 2026. It remains independent, sells through SSENSE, and collaborated with Kylie Jenner's Khy.
