JOHANNES FAKTOTUM

Johannes Faktotum, meaning “jack-of-all-trades” is a menswear line established in February of 2009 by Johanna Bloomfield. The collection embodies the spirit of the traditional German guild of craftsmen known as the "Zimmermann". The masculine silhouette of the artisan's uniform is the basis for much of the collection, emphasising strength with pronounced shoulder lines and athletic inspired knitwear. Johanna began her career in menswear in 2002 when she moved from New York to London to study at London College of Fashion. She went on to gain work experience in Paris and Berlin, working for designers like Bless and Rick Owens. Johanna later returned to New York to work on the Ralph Lauren men’s collection. Combining the intricate details of vintage construction with her own personal style, she decided to bring together her diverse experience to form Johannes Faktotum.
