Absolutely Fabulous Fashion Maven Angela Johnson > Who? What?

Currently located at Val Vista Drive and University here in Mesa, she has big plans to make Metro PHX a fashion center - and she's doing it! Say what?
Angela Johnson is a fashion designer, fashion educator, Arizona fashion industry leader and insider, fashion business consultant and fashion show coordinator with 17 years in the fashion industry.
Her “Angela Johnson” clothing line is an award winning, eco-friendly line best known for its elaborately constructed “T-shirt Ballgowns” and other garments made from “thrifted” and recycled T-shirts.

Arizona fashion groups combine to rewrite Metro Phoenix fashion industry
The idea
According to Phoenix-based LabelHorde director Angela Johnson, Arizona Fashion Source (AFS), LabelHorde (LH), and Arizona Apparel Foundation (AAF) have joined forces to take the steps needed to launch metropolitan Phoenix into the next major fashion market. Together, the entities will provide industry education, consulting, design services, apparel manufacturing, co-working, fashion makers’ studio, event space, incubator services, design studio supplies, and showroom space – all under one roof.  The goal is to create an industry environment in one building to make it easier for Arizona students, brands, and fashion lovers to learn, source, create, network; ultimately giving industry professionals and students every reason to stay in Arizona.  Even Arizona models will benefit, being able to work so closely with designers and the core of the Phoenix fashion scene.
