Johanna Ho
Romantic, yet cool. Modern, yet classic.Artistic and realistic. Innocent pink and edgy black...
Asia native raised in Europe, designer Johanna Ho mixes and matches many opposing elements in a positive atmosphere. That is what Johanna Ho's sweet and eccentric fashion is like.
Getting intense on long telephone calls with friends past midnight. Healing herself with a comforting spa treatment. Hearty cooking for loved ones. Enjoying shopping with Mom. All special times for women. Only women can savor the happiness of such moments. To share these feelings is Johanna Ho's wish.
A shoe collection with a trick to give your style a gracious sexiness with an exquisite heel height and a comfortable ingeniously cushioned sole. Relaxed-fit knit wear with gossamer lace and elaborate cut work. Distinctive, yet with comfort and warmth: that is Johanna Ho's spirit.
