red carpet<br />

More and more the ‘red carpet’ has<br />

become synonymous with the epitome<br />

of glamour and fantasy. From the<br />

Brownlow Medal to teen parties and<br />

school formals, red carpet dressing has<br />

become an obsession. With the Oscars<br />

around the corner, we’ve decided to<br />

dress up and become part of the<br />

glitterati ... but what does it take?<br />

An Australian in Hollywood<br />

Australian designer Johanna<br />

Johnson made a splash last<br />

year during the Emmy Awards<br />

when ‘Mad Men’ actress<br />

Christina Hendricks sashayed<br />

down the carpet in her heavy<br />

silk satin gown that was<br />

embellished with Swarovski<br />

crystals and screamed ‘old<br />

school Hollywood’. The<br />

Sydney Morning Herald’s<br />

Fashion Editor, Georgina<br />

Safe, declared Johanna’s<br />

dress a “red carpet<br />

stunner” and quoted the<br />

designer as saying events<br />

such as these, and the<br />

immediate subsequent media<br />

coverage, has such an impact<br />

it can make sales jump<br />

overnight.<br />

Johanna Johnson’s label<br />

was founded in 2005 with<br />

the aim of bringing the<br />

sophistication and glamour of<br />

the golden era of Hollywood<br />

to Australian brides. Now<br />

that modern Hollywood has<br />

discovered her who knows<br />

what the future holds for this<br />

mother of two?<br />
