Lana Ruched Jersey Dress in Western Dream
Ulla Johnson's Lana Midi Dress in Western Dream translates the expressive colour of Helen Frankenthaler's 1957 painting into a sleek, body-skimming silhouette. Soft washes of blue, green, coral and violet move across the dress like painted colour, while subtle ruching and princess seams shape the figure without disturbing the fluidity of the print. Available in Australia online and in-store at Riada Concept in Woollahra, Sydney.
The Ulla Johnson Lana Midi Dress has enough presence for gallery openings, cocktail events, destination weddings and evening celebrations, while the streamlined silhouette keeps it from feeling overly formal. Styled more simply, it works just as well for an elegant dinner, resort evening or special birthday, with understated accessories allowing the Western Dream artwork to remain the focus.

What is the Western Dream print on the Ulla Johnson Lana Dress?
The print reproduces imagery from Helen Frankenthaler's 1957 painting Western Dream, bringing its expressive washes of colour into the fluid jersey silhouette. The dress forms part of Ulla Johnson's collaboration with the Helen Frankenthaler Foundation.
How does the Ulla Johnson Lana Midi Dress fit?
The Lana is designed for a slim, body-skimming fit. Princess seams provide subtle shaping through the body while the soft jersey keeps the silhouette fluid rather than rigid.
What occasions is the Ulla Johnson Lana Midi Dress suitable for?
Its artistic print and streamlined silhouette make it particularly suited to gallery openings, cocktail events, destination weddings, evening celebrations and special dinners.
Can the Lana Dress be styled more casually?
Yes. Minimal sandals or a simple heel and restrained jewellery give the dress a more relaxed feel for resort evenings, dinners or birthday celebrations while allowing the Western Dream print to remain the focal point.
Who was Helen Frankenthaler?
Helen Frankenthaler was an influential American abstract painter known for her lyrical use of colour and pioneering soak-stain technique. The Western Dream print used for the Lana Dress is drawn from her 1957 painting of the same name.
