NEW ARRIVALS FROM ULLA JOHNSON | AW26 NOW AT RIADA CONCEPT
New Arrivals from Ulla Johnson
Florals in jersey and silk, a shot of chartreuse and matching sets in chamomile and claret, from the New York label known for romantic, considered dressing.
Few labels make a new season feel as considered as Ulla Johnson. The New York designer is known for romantic prints, artisanal detail and clothes that look as good on a Tuesday as they do at a long lunch, and the latest arrivals at Riada Concept in Woollahra, Sydney, are a clear example. There are florals in jersey and silk, a chartreuse cotton dress for the first warm days, matching sets in chamomile and claret, and the knitwear and denim to keep it all grounded. Here is a closer look at the first sixteen pieces, and how to wear them.
Florals, Silk and a Shot of Chartreuse
The dresses lead the collection. The Elora Sleeveless Jersey Dress in Khaki Floral and the Orla Sleeveless Jersey Dress in Noir Floral are the easiest pieces to wear, in a jersey that moves well and prints that read as soft rather than loud. The Ameline Sleeveless Silk Dress in Rosette is the dressier choice, a silk that suits a wedding, a races day or an evening out.
For daytime, the Dani Short Sleeve Cotton Dress in Pearled Ivory is the clean, crisp option, while the Othella Short Sleeve Cotton Dress in Chartreuse brings one of the season's sharpest colours to a simple cotton shape. Style either with flat sandals and a leather bag and little else.
Chamomile and Claret
Ulla Johnson does matching pieces well, and two colourways make the case. The Estela Short Sleeve Cotton Top in Chamomile and the Clarisse Trumpet Midi Skirt in Chamomile form a soft, buttery set that works as a pair or separately, with the trumpet skirt flaring from the hip.
In deeper tones, the Vesna Sleeveless Jersey Top in Claret and the Heloise Jersey Skirt in Claret give a tonal claret look with ruffle detailing that does the work of an outfit on its own. Wear each set together for an occasion, or split them with denim and a plain tee for every day.
Silk, Cotton and Easy Everyday
The tops are where the collection becomes practical. The Una Short Sleeve Cotton Top in Pearled Ivory is the dependable white-adjacent basic, and the Elise Short Sleeve Silk Blouse in Eclipse and Josephine Short Sleeve Silk Top in Prussian bring silk and a deeper colour to anything from tailored trousers to jeans. Tuck any of them into denim, or wear them under a cardigan for a little extra polish.
Cardigans, Denim and Considered Extras
For layers, the Zora Knit Cardigan in Noctis and the Louise Knit Cardigan in Alabaster cover dark and light, and both sit easily over a dress or a silk top. The Bobbi Embellished Denim Jacket in Tigris is the statement piece, the kind of jacket that lifts a plain outfit, and the Valory Stretch Flare Jean in Noir gives it a clean black base with a flare that works with heels or flats.
