Juliet Johnstone never intended to work in fashion, but shortly after the Los Angeles-based artist began experimenting with clothing, one of her pieces was worn by Bella Hadid—and it ignited an instant craze for her work.
of herself wearing them earlier this month. Hadid’s pair was in a khaki colorway, with hand-painted flowers and the wordson them. Though the two have never met, Johnstone and Hadid have mutual friends: Johnstone also models on the side and is currently signed with the agency One Management in New York City. The artist sent Hadid her own pair this past Paris Fashion Week, after noticing the fellow model had begun liking a few of her pants posts.
Johnstone says she gets inspiration for her designs from daily nature walks, vintage botanical books, and Japanese flowers, among other references. Her upbringing also lends to her ongoing creativity: Her father is a musician and part of Elton John’s band, and her childhood was often spent going on tour with the crew. “I would help out in the wardrobe department,” she says. “That was what I loved to do.
Sustainability is also an important aspect of Johnson’s work. She only uses vintage or upcycled pants, and each pair is one of a kind; Johnstone herself mostly wears vintage. In the future, Johnstone is open to expanding her hand-painting onto vintage jackets or shirts—but amid the coronavirus pandemic, Johnstone says creating the pants brings joy to both herself and her customers, and that’s enough.
