Bold prints & embroideries that effortlessly become part of your everyday staples–Johnny Was reflects a distinctly Californian spirit
Johnny Was’ reversible ‘Gillian Mix’ Patchwork Kimono brings a kaleidoscope of colour and versatility to your wardrobe. Cut from fluid, lightweight silk, this ankle-grazing layer showcases an eclectic montage of florals, paisleys, and geometric motifs in vivid turquoise, fuchsia, and sunlit gold. The relaxed, open-front silhouette and wide sleeves evoke effortless bohemian ease, while the fully reversible design offers two equally striking ways to wear it. Layer over the matching slip dress for a co-ordinated statement or pair with jeans and sneakers for an artfully undone daytime look.
