Johna explored strange and emotional moods to create a wild atmosphere for Jean Paul Gaultier and continued this intense, unconventional journey with some of his other clients including Irie, Kenzo and Escada.

A truly eye opening design was created for Fendi which was a mixture of hand drawings on canvas backdrops and little mannequins dressed with the fabrics of the fashion collections.
