“Without craftsmanship, inspiration is a mere reed shaken in the wind.” — Johannes Brahms, german composer
Just like the universal and timeless appeal of a great song, Johnny Was designs clothes that cross cultures and defy trends. With a bohemian spirit and a true sense of authenticity, they take their inspiration from anything that is beautiful, genuine and special—a striking piece of artwork, the luxurious hand-stitching on a vintage dress or the natural simplicity of a vibrant bougainvillea.
Their signature embroideries and effortless silhouettes are unparalleled. After more than 30 years of our artisan-inspired stitch work and luxe fabrications, the undying allure speaks for itself. For the woman looking to showcase her personal style, while appreciating the thoughtful details of timeless techniques. An aesthetic that embraces our California-based lifestyle but always with a global vision.
It’s the gorgeous details in life that make it beautiful, and that’s what JW strives to create with Johnny Was. Embrace the beauty, look beyond and enjoy the journey.

"Thank you so much for all the help, answering all my questions, doing try ons via Facetime and video, so I can see what it looks like. I am a visual person, so it helps so much with everything, you have no idea. I always feel like I am having that pretty woman moment, like I am a celebrity with you and I feel like a broken record I always say that, but I really feel like that. Thank you and you are so above and beyond."
