April Johnston is a young, motivated designer who looks to nontraditional inspiration for themes and visions. A native of Mooresville, N.C., Johnston graduated with a bachelor of fine arts degree from Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD). After graduating, Johnston left for New York City to take on one of America’s most popular fashion design shows “Project Runway” and placed in the top five of 17 contestants. Johnston will appear in the upcoming “Project Runway All Stars,” which is set to premiere in 2012.
“It’s been an amazing experience working with Springs Creative on this apparel line of fabrics for Jo-Ann Fabric and Craft Stores,” said Johnston. “This collection is a representation of my personality not only as a designer but as someone who simply loves fashion and beautiful clothing. I am very grateful for the opportunity to work with Springs Creative, and I am looking forward to working with them in the future.”
