suddenly it’s September. We’re in that pre-stretch to Fashion Week and all we can think about is velvet, rich print and the wearable wonders of boho-chic master, Ulla Johnson. From her adorable take on overalls to her signature billowy printed dress, every one of her detail-oriented and naturally made designs is everything we’re wanting to put on this fall.

We don’t bring you fashion features all the time, but when we do, it’s thanks to designers like Ulla who take care to build their styles with natural fibers, handcrafted processes and other responsible fashion practices. In Ulla’s case, we wanted to get a glimpse of what’s inspiring her hotly trending designs. Her grassroots success, stunning detailing and super-wearable fits have made Ulla one to watch and we’re all eyes.
