About wESTLY JOHNS

Westly Johns was born in the creative heart of Los Angeles, California, through the vision of Thomas Westly Johns III. The brand is more than just a name—it's an artistic journey, a fusion of storytelling, inspiration, and design, driven by Thomas’ unique perspective on the world. His work is a seamless blend of art, film, poetry, culture, music, and the landscapes that shape our lives. These influences come to life in every piece: custom fabrics, meticulous details, and the harmonious interplay between masculine and feminine elements. Each collection echoes the architecture of his memories, the movement of his travels, and the timeless shapes that have always sparked his imagination.

For Thomas, design is an ongoing narrative—one where innovation meets emotional resonance. Every collection is a statement of effortless confidence, a tribute to the power of personal expression. His inspiration is drawn not only from his childhood experiences in Maryland but also from the vast landscapes he's explored as an adult. The structures, the textures, the stories embedded in the places he's seen—all of these threads weave into the fabric of Westly Johns.

Thomas began sketching clothing and silhouette’s as a child, setting the stage for a lifelong pursuit of design. His technical expertise was refined at FIDM and USC, but it’s his passion for storytelling through design that truly defines his work. Westly Johns isn’t just about fashion—it’s about creating an experience, a story, and a sense of self through every piece.
