backstage this season, but that’s precisely where her inspiration began. “You know, I was a women’s-studies major in college,” she explained after her show at the Powerhouse Arts space in Brooklyn. “In the book she talks about how everything is a performance, gender is a performance. Everything here was a performance,” she added, gesturing to the area where the show had just taken place. “We were also really thinking about subverting femininity.
The best example of her gender play came from the groovy pinstripe fabric with stripes showing pressure points, as if someone had started drawing them but stopped and hesitated. They made for a handsome single-breasted jacket worn with high-waist flat-front pants .
A high point in the collection was the collaboration with K-Way performancewear, which included a poncho, a jumpsuit, and a super-cool midi-length skirt that zipped up the front, all made from Johnson’s signature blurred floral print in K-Way’s technical nylon. Johnson loves the outdoors, so for her they filled a necessity , but they just seemed like essential pieces in anyone’s wardrobe, even if they never leave the city.
There were some electrifying pieces made from boiled wool: simple shift dresses with ever-so-slightly voluminous skirts in insanely vibrant shades of orchid purple and marigold yellow—the latter styled with two matching sweaters, one worn underneath the dress and another tied around the neck like a scarf. Last minute, Johnson also decided to add some male models to the lineup. “You see women on men’s runways all the time, but you never see men on women’s runways,” she observed.
