JOHANNA ORTIZ'S
FW22 COLLECTION EMANATES A SOPHISTICATED ALLURE
Advertisement
Johanna Ortiz’s FW22 collection ‘Libertad’ (Spanish for ‘Freedom’) acknowledges a sentiment of hope during troubled times. Eveningwear returns this season and harkens back to the femininity of the Golden Era as a modern nomad - she is always in transit. She is empowered. Central Asian crafts are celebrated in this season’s prints along with signature Johanna Ortiz references of tropical palms and South American flora - specifically in the hand embroidered Suzani and Ikat threading. A collaboration between Johanna Ortiz and Alvaro Avila, earrings are made with pride and a deep love for their shared Colombian heritage. Crafted from gold plated silver and hand painted enamel with art deco references, the sculptural double dome earrings evoke mysticism and positive energy. Shoes display leaf ties and twists in materials synonyms with Johanna Ortiz. Libertad is intriguing, provocative and emanates a sophisticated allure.
