What to know about Ulla Johnson
Handwork carries the price tag
Johnson works with artisan makers in Peru and India on hand-knits, hand-crochet, embroidery and block-printed textiles, which is where the high pricing sits.
Volume is the signature
The clothes read through shape rather than logo: tiered and gathered dresses, blouson sleeves, crocheted knitwear and painterly prints, alongside denim.
Independent, and dressed head to toe
Johnson still owns and runs the label, shows on the New York Fashion Week calendar, and extends the collections into footwear, bags and jewellery.
