About Kimiko Johnson

I guess you could say I’ve been a highly sociable person since an early age… My parents always joked that the main reason why I enjoyed school was because it meant I got to see my friends (partially true) but I’d like to think my dance and history classes are what also kept me interested. It does explain how I landed in Public Relations… Clearly this girl loves to talk! But what I truly enjoy about being in PR is the ability to connect with people, build community, research, and most importantly, to be part of a brand’s blossoming journey. PR allows you to communicate a vision with not only words but visually, allowing the viewer to immerse themselves in the brand. I mean, isn’t that the point? Giving the opportunity for the admirer / consumer to be a part of a movement. Even though I’ve been in the fashion industry for quite some time (12 years to be exact!) I have discovered that my favorite space to live in is event production. As a visual person and someone who loves to engage with people in-person, I’ve discovered that producing events for clients allows me to marry those two ideas together and bring a brand’s idea to life. I have also found that these opportunities enable me to connect a brand with its peers in a more direct way and form a sense of community. And that’s what I’m hoping to bring… Intentional and tangible experiences that make people feel good and also help to create conversations, new ideas, spark joy, and hopefully bring about change.

  • Lit, Inc.
    Director Of Brand Partnerships & Menswear
    Lit, Inc. Jun 2021 - Present
    + Throughout the 2022 calendar year, I successfully booked digital talent across the U.S. in multiple social media campaigns supporting the launch of Gentle Monster’s main collection, Jentle Garden collaboration with BLACKPINK’s Jennie Kim, Coperni collaboration, and the debut of their Optical line. These projects helped expand the brand’s profile within the high fashion and Gen Z communities. + I worked on a special project with Stella Luna and booked digital creators, globally, for their Fashion Week campaign in tandem with the release of their Fall 2022 collection. The campaign was shot across two territories (New York City and Paris) and aside from booking the talent, my role was to design the list of prospective partners, negotiate their contracts on behalf of the client, coordinate the product each influencer wanted to wear, and schedule their shoot dates with our photographer. The images were then utilized on Stella Luna’s social media channels in an effort to elevate their image and booster sales, which it did. + At LIT, we represent an array of global brands with the majority of them being based in Europe and the underlying theme tends to be that they are all emerging and relatively unknown clothing brands. When HEREU and THE SEI joined the roster, they were not known to many (THE SEI was on month one as a brand). Through careful strategic seeding initiatives with established talent and dressing for special events, I took those two brands and created demand from the global digital creator community, helping them both acquire new retail partners. + I’ve become a mentor to the manager of the department I oversee, and she has really grown into her own in the year that she has been on my team. Our relationship has developed into a partnership, and I feel confident in knowing that she can handle her own and build a strong rapport with our clients, digital creators and their teams.

    + Nanushka Platform Pop Up - Nanushka wanted to dip their toes into the U.S. retail market and did so by hosting a pop up at Platform LA, a community shopping center in the LA metro area. As part of their partnership with the space, they were required to produce a monthly social event whether it was with the public or celebrities and influencers. One of the major events I was responsible for producing was a private dinner and cocktail hour to celebrate Nanushka’s arrival to the states. It was the first project of its kind that I worked on and I have to say it was extremely gratifying. Guests were comprised of celebrities such as Adria Arjona, Aubrey Plaza, CYN, Fuschia Kate Sumner, Liv Hewson, The Kaplan Twins as well as influencers and prominent celebrity stylists like Erica Cloud, Jason Bolden, Jessica Paster, and Sydney Lopez. The dinner was featured in VOGUE, The Cut, W Magazine.+ Nanushka Budapest Atelier Press Trip - For Nanushka’s first press trip to share their home country of Budapest, I secured influencers Courtney Trop and Reese Blutstein and flew out with them as a representative of LIT.+ Nanushka SoHo Store Opening - Once Nanushka introduced their first U.S. retail space in the Soho neighborhood, I was tasked with locking in celebrity and influencer attendees to celebrate this major milestone for the brand. Attendees included Anna Barysnikov, Coco and Breezy, Kota Eberhardt, Laura Love, Sofia Sanchez de Betak, Quincy, and Victor Cruz. The party was featured in VOGUE, Daily Front Row, Just Jared.+ DANSE LENTE LA Pop Up - Coinciding with Coachella and the launch of their limited-edition, "XS Josh," Danse Lente threw two parties in an interactive pop up space introducing the brand to consumers and the LA influencer and celebrity stylist communities. Guests had the opportunity to meet the designer, Youngwon Kim, and pick out a bag from the SS19 collection.

    + The department I oversaw was responsible for managing seeding opportunities as well as alert media of VIP placements for digital coverage. One project I was tasked with was to reintroduce The Frye Company as they were celebrating 150 years in the footwear industry.

Highlighted placements include - Amanda Seyfried, Ben Affleck, Hugh Jackman, Julia Roberts, Julianne Hough, Katie Holmes, Katy Perry, Logan Lerman, Matt Damon, Miles Teller, Selena Gomez, and Vanessa Hudgens.+ ALLSAINTS was our biggest client at ADAM DRAWAS and we were fully an extension of the brand in Los Angeles.
