Central to ioannes’ collections are subtle slips between austerity and exuberance. The garments move their wearer from a sense of strictness to sensuality, from the understated to its excessive core, work to play.
Couture hand-me-downs co-exist with casual sportswear. Classical art is channelled through ‘90s minimalism. The collections are crafted in the image of a woman moved by the spontaneity of daily life, its small thrills, unexpected turns, and sudden shifts.
Founded in 2019 in Paris by Johannes Boehl, ioannes combines the romantic with grunge, the conventional with absolute ease, and intelligence with a penchant for mischief. Its refined construction comes from a deep appreciation of craft traditions. Taking its name from the signatures of Renaissance artists, the brand goes to the source of what it means to be a 21st-century woman.
