![]() Here, Johnson explains what inspires her, what makes fashion rebellious, her style pet peeves, and more. After just a few years in business, Johnson has become known for her classic, reformed basics, such as bowling shirts and knit corsets ,and “season-less” clothes are closet-staples that have attracted a group of “It-Girl” fans including Rainey Qualley, Emily Ratajkowski, and Sami Miro. According to the 24-year-old New York-born creative who helms the It-brand Orseund Iris, using this profound form of communication is one of the most gratifying ways to see how her designs are being received a tool to connect her to the cool, downtown New York girls she designs for. I’m also partial to the Hollywood mini dress for statement flair, and, most unlike me, the new strapless Day Dress, which reminds me of flitting around New York like Summer in 500 Days of Summer and making all the Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s around the city fall in love with me upon sight.For up and coming designer, Alana Johnson, social media is her lifeline. Yes, okay, some might wear it as a wedding dress, but I’m totally going to be the best-dressed at the next White party and I owe it all to Alana Johnson. This is to say, I bought that dress anyway. Yes, okay, it’s not cheap, but babe – do you know how much a custom wedding dress costs? My parents are in for the shock of their lives by the time I get married and I tell them I want a fully Māori-designed embroidered veil á la Angelina Jolie. There is something effortlessly chic about skipping that whole intricate and overwhelming design process for your wedding dress and just ordering a £1500 dress online. Their ivory Night Out maxi dress is a favourite for “cool girls” weddings – simply look at Lucky Blue Smith’s new gorgeous wife who wore it for her wedding. ![]() Silk is one of the brand’s favourite materials to work with, which is great because it’s one of my favourite materials to wear. I like a little “umph” in my clothes, and Orseund Iris walks the fine line. What I like most about the brand is that it mixes femininity with a contemporary cool, which is great considering I don’t always go for the most delicate and graceful option. Would I dream about it? Sure, I would! Have you seen the clothes? Should they thank me profusely and offer me free clothes for the rest of my life? No, because I respect independent designers. My claim to fame is back when I was working in the Trends section at British Vogue, and corsets were obviously trending, I introduced Orseund Iris into the Vogue offices, and since then, it’s taken off. Started by Alana Johnson back in around 2015, you would probably know Orseund Iris by those knit corset bras they released back in the day – or even more so, the underbust knit corsets worn by celebs like Bella Hadid, Kylie Jenner, and Emily Ratajowski. ![]() I am the most ruthless I have ever been, and I’m trying to become the softest version of myself too. This is not good.Īs a firm believer in you become what you consume, I’ve decided that although I’m not going to stop reading the news, or stop shit-posting on Andrew Tate’s Instagram comments (“wHaT cOlOuR’s YoUr bUgAtTi?” “The same colour of your a******!”), but I am going to dress softer, in the same way that when I wear Miu Miu ballet slippers or a wraparound gym top I feel like a ballerina. My shoulders are stiffer, I’m quick to jump into an argument and I’m even quicker to anger. Love the women in your life, and let them be free), I can feel my body almost preparing for doom. That man may own several Bugatti’s, but he could not pour water out of a boot if the instructions were written on the heel. With all the bad news and the rise of absolute morons like Andrew Tate who have a huge following that listens to his every word (please, children. Plus, I love a suit – so I naturally gravitate towards tailored pants.īut more and more I can feel myself hardening up. I’m just not gentle and dainty and kind and float around in a romantic kind of way (I mean sometimes I am, but not usually) I’m usually in a hurry and tired of flashing my knickers every time I walk into the tube elevator. I’ve grown up usually preferring pants as I’ve gotten older, and I think that reflects in my personality. I would say I have a pretty even yin yang – which is to say, my masculine side is pretty strong, and almost on par with my feminine side. Lately I’ve been telling you of my mission to wear more dresses.
