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 include costuming a 2011 performance in collaboration with composer Philip Glass. Hadley Johnson's latest costuming role was funded by the Andy Warhol Foundation of the Visual Arts. Most recently she was hired by international art doyenne, Peregrine Honig to assist her in a commission project for the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas City, MO. Then this spring she has been invited to show her A/W collection, when the bough breaks, at the Gothenburg Fashion Fair in Sweden.
