Fashion designer Ulla Johnson is opening her first standalone boutique outside the US on London's Sloane Street, set to debut in August 2026. The expansion follows the launch of three fragrances after two years of development, with bottle caps sculpted by LA artist Jonathan Yamakami. Johnson's resort 2027 collection features collaborations with artist Cassi Namoda, whose floral canvases appear on silk twill dresses and Italian jacquards. The collection includes hand-crocheted dresses, spangled three-piece sets, black-and-white fringe dresses, and jeans with brass hardware or feathery jacquard motifs.
