My Fashion Life: Meet Sustainable Resort-wear Designer Hansine!

This month, we stumbled across Hansine, a beautiful label which is the creation of Hansine Johnston. We sat down to speak with Hansine who is passionate about travel and fashion and has been since a young age. Over time she has curated her own unique look, putting unexpected textures and patterns together to create a modern bohemian aesthetic that she has put into her launch collection of resortwear.

Born into a family with Greek, Danish and Irish roots her multicultural childhood and adventurous nature led her to many far-flung places and exotic beaches. It was this passion for the stylish and original that also fuelled her interest in fashion and led to a career within some of the industry’s leading brands. Now based in Switzerland, Hansine hosts a regular radio show focusing on her favourite subjects, fashion & travel. The London based label comprises exciting, fashion forward maxi dresses and knitwear, designed to provide people with an original, versatile and luxurious summer wardrobe.
