Hadley Johnson (Costume Designer)

Hadley Johnson was named Parsons Paris 2010 Designer of the Year for her debut collection, “Till Death Do Us Part”. Conceptually grounded by a Fine Arts BFA in 2001, Johnson approaches fashion as a discipline. Her generative studio practice has a choreographic and architectural rhythm. Johnson’s projects with experimental and formal dance groups in New York have aided in her understanding of movement and the body. Hadley Johnson’s most recent costuming role was funded by the Andy Warhol Foundation of the Visual Arts. She has been a feature designer twice on the English designer website notjustalabel.com since graduating. Johnson just finished a project, “Sweet Chariot” with art doyenne, Peregrine Honig and the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas City, MO where she currently resides.
