Our Story

Our Story

Artful, effortless fashion—rooted in California spirit and inspired by the world.

Johnny Was is a women’s lifestyle brand based in Los Angeles. Our point of view brings together bohemian elegance and modern sophistication through expressive prints, intricate embroidery, artisan-inspired techniques and high-quality fabrics.

Each collection is designed for personal style and an easy sense of movement. Flowing dresses, distinctive tops, richly detailed outerwear, signature kimonos and relaxed resort pieces are created to move comfortably from everyday moments to travel and special occasions.

Our aesthetic embraces the California lifestyle while keeping a global outlook. Color, pattern, vintage references and cultural craft traditions inform the details that make every piece feel individual.


Signature embroidery, effortless silhouettes and thoughtful details—made for women who dress with confidence and individuality.

Our approach

We believe memorable clothing begins with the details: the placement of an embroidered motif, the hand and drape of a fabric, the scale of a print and the way a silhouette feels in motion. The result is a wardrobe with a free-spirited perspective that remains wearable, expressive and timeless.
