Born and raised in Manhattan; the daughter of archaeologists; Ulla Johnson honed her signature style between the streets of New York and the far-flung destinations of their family travels. She has never wavered on her steadfast attention to the details of construction that have become her hallmark; basing each of her collections on a foundation of natural fibers; beautiful finishing; and ease of fit and form.The ethereal 'Ethel' dress has a free-flowing bohemian-style silhouette made from gauzy cotton-silk with peasant sleeves; a ruffled tie-neck; an elastic waist; and a tiered skirt.
