Ulla Johnson Opens West Hollywood Kelly Wearstler-Designed Global Vibe Store

Ulla Johnson Opens West Hollywood Kelly Wearstler-Designed Global Vibe Store

Designer Ulla Johnson grew up in Manhattan but lived also ‘on the road’ as the daughter of archaelogists.

AOC immediately wants to know if Ulla traveled to the Cradle of Humankind in South Africa, a paleoanthropological site located about 50 km northwest of Johannesburg, South Africa, in the Gauteng province.

How about the Lake Turkana region of today’s Kenya, where the Leakey family discovered Lucy. Better yet, has Ulla Johnson been to the Omo Valley? Her clothes suggest ‘yes’.

As a mother to Soren, now 17; Asher, 13; Agnes, 11 and a vizsla named Daphne, and wife to Zach Miner, Ulla Johnson has travelled her own road out of Brooklyn and now to the opening of new store in West Hollywood.
