Representing Sydney designer, Johanna Johnson has been a bit of a treat of late. The bridal, red carpet and high fashion designer recently dressed TV’s favourite glamazon, Christina Hendricks. Hendricks strolled the red carpet in a 100% hand beaded gown which the designer had lovingly designed for the actress from scratch.

It makes our jobs a lot easier when the star says things like “This is the best I have ever looked…” and “It was the first dress I tried on”.

Johanna started her day with a live interview on Nova Breakfast, quickly by Channel 7, Nine and Network Ten news. Johanna had her very first appearance on the 7pm Project, and then woke up to her own photo the next day on the front page of The Age and in The Sydney Morning Herald.

Well done to Johanna Johnson and her team!
