The Bite Magazine - Spring/Summer 2022 - Issue 31

bitecatwalk B orn and raised in Manhattan, the daughter of archaeologists, Ulla Johnson honed her signature style between the streets of New York and the far-flung destinations of their family travels. Her eponymous line, founded in 1998, just after she graduated from univer- sity, immediately caught the attention of the fashion press. Growing from a handful of directional boutiques and with an early endorsement from Barneys New York, Johnson’s collection has gained a dedicated following and the support of retailers across the United States, Europe, Australia, and Asia. She has never wavered in her steadfast attention to the details of construction that have become her hallmark, basing each of her collections on a foundation of natural fibres, beautiful finishing, and ease of fit and form. This year’s collection debuted in the Brooklyn Botanic Garden and celebrated the natural world and the calming heaven it provided during times of need. Johnson proposed Italian-made coats, jackets, and pants in patchwork cotton drill well-suited to the theme of the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. Relaxed corsetry, lushly printed poplin tops and dresses, versatile layering pieces and new handbag styles define this latest collection by Ulla Johnson. https://ullajohnson.com NEW YORK SS/22 FASHION WEEK ULLA JOHNSON
