Canadian designer Virginia Johnson studied textile design here in New York at Parsons, before working with Helmut Lang. Ten years ago she launched her own line of unique hand-painted scarves. In addition to textile and clothing design, she works as an illustrator (clients have included Vogue, Kate Spade and Holt Renfrew.) Today her work is carried in stores such as Barneys, Holt Renfrew, Selfridges, Net-a-Porter, and many more. Each original print begins as a watercolor painting which is then silk screened onto fabric, and then cut and sewn. Her main influences are drawn from nature and travel, particularly birds, flowers, trees and water. Her designs add a chic, eclectic dimension to your look. Take a chic peek at www.virginiajohnson.com
