- Rectangle: Define your waist with a belt, a wrap silhouette, and bias cuts to introduce shape. The Evie Turtleneck Top in Lilac works well layered over a fitted base for added structure.
- Hourglass: Fitted bodices, wrap closures, and waist-defining details flatter natural curves, let the 70% cotton, 30% silk skim rather than cling.

About Ulla Johnson
Ulla Johnson is an American contemporary label based in New York, founded in 1999 by Ulla Johnson. She started the line the year she graduated, with five tailored separates and five thousand dollars of her own money. Barneys picked up the collection in 2000. The label has shown on the New York Fashion Week runway since February 2017, and it sells through Bergdorf Goodman, Neiman Marcus and Le Bon Marché as well as its own stores. The house is known for artisanal hand-work, painterly print and romantic volume.
Much of that comes down to the supply chain. Ulla Johnson works directly with artisan communities in Peru, India, Kenya, Uruguay and the Philippines on hand-loomed cloth, embroidery and hand-dye. Those techniques carry from one season to the next. The brand added a denim line in 2021 that is handcrafted in Los Angeles, finished with a leather logo patch and a hand-hammered ring at the back belt loop. The first boutique opened on Bleecker Street in New York in 2017, and Amagansett followed in 2019.
For Spring 2026 the house worked with the Helen Frankenthaler Foundation and put the painter’s canvases onto silk and organza. The colourways borrow the painting titles directly, so a shade named Moontide, Western Dream, and Nature Abhors a Vacuum refers to a specific Frankenthaler work rather than a colour. Luxury Handbags stocks the label for resort travel, wedding-guest dressing and considered everyday.
Fall 2026 is the colder-weather side of the house. The runway pieces move into reversible shearling coats, crushed velvet, lambskin and suede. The signature crochet is worked in wool and mohair with embroidered flowers. A group of the merino wool knits, the Ronan and Lila pullovers and the Lucia skirt among them, is made in Italy, and the denim is still handcrafted in Los Angeles. Prints stay in the picture, with dark florals and paisley on silk. The shade names run to Militaire, Loden, Cerise and Jadeite.
“The Ulla Johnson Evie Turtleneck Top in Lilac is exactly the kind of piece we recommend for women building a considered wardrobe, quietly confident, beautifully cut, and effortless to restyle. The 70% cotton, 30% silk elevates it well beyond contemporary.”
Gemma Deeks, Fashion Editor at Luxury Shoes
How Ulla Johnson Compares
Shoppers cross-shopping the Ulla Johnson Evie Turtleneck Top in Lilac typically also consider
Zimmermann,
Johanna Ortiz, and
Alemais.
They are close neighbours, and they are not interchangeable. Zimmermann is Australian,
built on resort tailoring, with a sharper and more structured line. Johanna Ortiz comes out
of Colombia and leans maximalist, with bolder colour and a stronger evening register.
Alemais is Australian as well, and of the three it is the closest on hand-craft and print,
though its palette runs more playful. Ulla Johnson is the New York option, romantic in
volume, and of the four it commits hardest to hand-loomed and hand-dyed cloth. Explore the full

What Ulla Johnson Costs
This piece, the Evie Turtleneck Top in Lilac, is 530 USD at Luxury Shoes . Tops and knitwear are the
entry point to the range. Dresses and skirts sit in the middle, and the hand-embroidered
occasion gowns and the reversible shearling coats are the most expensive pieces the house makes. Denim is priced in the lower
half. On price the label is contemporary, on construction it is closer to designer, and the
hand-work and the artisan cloth are where that difference shows. The fabrics are natural
fibre rather than coated synthetics, so pieces hold their look.
