JESSICA JOHNSON X ESQUIVEL SANDALS AND MAMA BIJOUX PENDANT PHOTOS BY CLARK STUDIO; ALL OTHERS COURTESY OF BRANDS
After years of sharing her coastal chic womenswear at showrooms in Los Angeles, fashion designer Jessica Johnson has opened her first dedicated boutique in Costa Mesa’s Plaza Sereno.
Following a move back to her hometown of Newport Beach in 2020, Jessica Johnson knew the time was right to take the plunge and open her own retail store. Since launching her eponymous brand in 2015, the entrepreneur and mother of four has carved a niche for herself by creating beach-inspired apparel that’s handmade in Downtown Los Angeles and utilizes elevated fabrics in feminine silhouettes. “Like my brand, I believe I created something unique; our shop is small, consciously curated and beautiful,” says Johnson. “Everything on display is there not only because I love the design, but also because of the story behind the brand.” Here, the designer shares duds from her boutique and beyond. shopjessicajohnson.com
