What to know about JohnnyLove

Shirting is the anchor

Slim shirts are what the label is known for, backed by knitwear, trousers and outerwear cut for cold Nordic weather.

Tailoring rules, streetwear proportions

Collections sit between the two: block colours, clean lines and almost no visible branding rather than logos or prints.

Small Norwegian label, selective reach

Founded in Trondheim in 2006 by John Vinnem, it sells through its own Trondheim store, online, and Scandinavian and European independents.
