Uniquka Johnson’s elegant and dressy casual clothing line UJ Fashions is the perfect illustration to that quote. Johnson’s clothing line is often compared to Betsey Johnson’s fun, elegant and ready to wear spring collection. Uniquka Johnson is a senior business marketing major from Dallas, Texas. After graduation in December, Uniquka would like to obtain financial support with an investment firm or sponsorship organization to start her business in Houston, Texas. Fashion to Uniquka is an expression of yourself, originality, and individualism, and that is precisely what she strives for. Uniquka is definitely original, and independent when it comes to her designs. Johnson said, “It’s not like I have a contractor or sweat shop in which people would do things for me, I do everything on my own.”
The fashion industry is one of the most competitive industries in the world, because one day you’re in and the next day you’re out. That doesn’t intimidate the confident and hard working designer who believes that someday her collection will be featured in, Mercedes-Benz Fashion week in New York City, New York.
Uniquka just recently showcased her designs at Prairie View A&M’s first annual fashion week.
As for now Uniquka will continue to work hard and showcase her designs with the hopes of expanding her collection over the United States. She specializes in tailoring, togas, alterations, costume design, dance wear, and personal creations. Johnson can be contacted by phone (469) 226-5362 or by email ujfashions@yahoo.com
Johnson would like to give thanks to Prairie View A&M because the campus does a great job showcasing individual’s talent, regardless if it is singing, dance, or fashion. She also would like to give thanks to Uniquka’s Divas for helping her progress with her success, because Yves Saint Laurent once said “A good model can advance fashion by ten years.”
