Johanna
Ho graduated from London Saint Martins with both Undergraduate and Masters
Degrees in 1997. Her graduation show was highlighted by the London Times
Fashion Editor Iain R. Webb (now Fashion Director of UK Elle) as one of
the top new talents of the year. Soon after graduating, Johanna
launched her own signature label in 1998.
Her
first Ready-to-Wear collection was shown at London Fashion Week and
subsequently bought by Barneys NY, Browns in London, and Via Bus Stop in
Japan.
Johanna’s Ready-to-Wear
collection continues to be well-received internationally and is stocked in
leading select shops and department stores in the United States, England,
France, Hong Kong, and Japan.
Johanna
draws on both her western training and eastern influences to design
collections for the modern woman that can be dressed up or down depending
on the occasion. The heart of the collection is an innovative
knitwear group that combines the finest Italian yarns with interesting
silhouettes and new weave techniques. The knitwear is complemented
with a focused woven group infused with subtle details such as interesting
pockets and buttons, embroidery, and one-of-a-kind printed linings. Johanna
has debuted a leather Handbag and Shoe collection for the Autumn/Winter
2003 season. Embossed leathers, printed linings, and unique shapes
combine to create a statement that is about contrast and individuality.
The result is a sensual and versatile collection providing innovative
ideas season after season.
