Ulla Johnson, a New York City designer, founded her clothing line in 1998, gaining popularity for its vibrant, bohemian style with fine tailoring. Known for drawing inspiration from artists, her latest ready-to-wear line features textiles inspired by Lee Krasner. Johnson is deeply involved in the art world, as seen in her home filled with curated pieces. Her journey in art collecting reveals both impulsive and patient decision-making, and she hopes to promote women's fiber art through a public collection, highlighting her dedication to both art and community.
The brand has seen steady growth ever since; it has particularly ramped up in recent years, thanks to the popularity of Johnson's colourful and bohemian but still well-tailored garments.
Even in the Brooklyn brownstone she shares with her husband, Zach Miner (an art consultant) and their three children, art is a part of Johnson's everyday life.
Sometimes immediately on sight, other times I can be very patient-years or more to find the right work by a specific artist.
My great dream is to leave an important collection of fibre works by female artists on view and available to the public.
