Johnny Was 

Booth 1005

Los Angeles, CA  
      United States

The year was 1987, and for the creators of JOHNNY WAS, it came in the form of a classic reggae song released a decade earlier. Living by the beach in Southern California, while the Bob Marley tune with the eponymous line, “Johnny was a good man…” was on heavy rotation, a clothing line was born. JOHNNY WAS creates clothes, accessories, and swimwear that embrace a California lifestyle but speak to a global vision, that feel luxurious yet ready to be packed in a suitcase for a last minute trip. It is about going through life with an ease that’s both alluring and inspiring.
