JOHANNA ORTIZ
A sensual, after-dark spirit takes hold of the Colombian designer this season. Festive partywear and beach-to-bar knits balance the seductive intrigue of daring skin reveals with the label’s signature coastal ease. Alongside leafy and palm-strewn prints that are, as always, informed by the label’s natural surroundings, find patterns that pay tribute to traditional Ankaran wax prints and a Japanese ikat with a blurred effect known as kasuri. Elevated with artisanal details by local craftspeople—from woven raffia on cottons and linens to 3D knotted chords—it’s Johanna’s barefoot glamour, heightened with a fresh luxury that comes alive in movement.
The buy: the silk-wool black maxi alight in copper-embellished leaf prints.
