Her unique mix of California cool and New York chic have inspired a loyal following. Born and raised in Saigon, Vietnam, Johnna Ho immigrated to Los Angeles, California in the late 1970s where the non-traditional and rebellious fashion scene was the rage. The influence of the 1960s radical look evolved into something more romantic during the 70s and would become the very DNA of Johnna’s overall forward thinking style. Her zeal for individualized fashion developed at the curious and innocent age of eight when her recently immigrated family didn’t have enough money to buy clothes for her dolls. Johnna, known for being inventible and curious as a child, carefully thought out the perfect dress and would then hand-sew the doll’s clothes herself. Fashion quickly became her own personal platform of expression during these early days in America when her English was limited. Her obsession for bridal wear started when she worked as a seamstress at a bridal boutique while attending the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising in Los Angeles, where she graduated in 1995 with honours.
