How to Style the Alisa Knit Top in Conch by Body Type
- Rectangle: Define your waist with a belt, a wrap silhouette, and bias cuts to introduce shape. The Alisa Knit Top in Conch in Ivory works well layered over a fitted base for added structure.
- Hourglass: Fitted bodices, wrap closures, and waist-defining details flatter natural curves, let the 90% viscose, 10% metalized polyester skim rather than cling.
- Tall: Maxi lengths, column silhouettes, and tiered hems elongate beautifully. Vertical seaming here enhances height without overpowering proportion.
- Petite: Look for high-waisted cuts, midi lengths, and refined shoulder lines. The structured proportions of the Alisa Knit Top in Conch help balance shorter frames.

About Ulla Johnson
Ulla Johnson is an American contemporary label based in New York, founded in 1999 by Ulla Johnson. She started the line the year she graduated, with five tailored separates and five thousand dollars of her own money. Barneys picked up the collection in 2000. The house is known for artisanal hand-work, painterly print and romantic volume.
Much of that comes down to the supply chain. Ulla Johnson works directly with artisan communities in Peru, India, Kenya, Uruguay and the Philippines on hand-loomed cloth, embroidery and hand-dye. Those techniques carry from one season to the next. The brand added a denim line in 2021 that is handcrafted in Los Angeles, finished with a leather logo patch and a hand-hammered ring at the back belt loop. The first boutique opened on Bleecker Street in New York in 2017, and Amagansett followed in 2019.
For Spring 2026 the house worked with the Helen Frankenthaler Foundation and put the painter’s canvases onto silk and organza. The colourways borrow the painting titles directly, so a shade named Moontide, Western Dream, and Nature Abhors a Vacuum refers to a specific Frankenthaler work rather than a colour. Coveti stocks the label for resort travel, wedding-guest dressing and considered everyday.
“The Ulla Johnson Alisa Knit Top in Conch in Ivory is exactly the kind of piece we recommend for women building a considered wardrobe, quietly confident, beautifully cut, and effortless to restyle. The 90% viscose, 10% metalized polyester elevates it well beyond contemporary.”

How Ulla Johnson Compares
Shoppers cross-shopping the Ulla Johnson Alisa Knit Top in Conch typically also consider Zimmermann, Johanna Ortiz, and Alemais. They are close neighbours, and they are not interchangeable. Zimmermann is Australian, built on resort tailoring, with a sharper and more structured line. Johanna Ortiz comes out of Colombia and leans maximalist, with bolder colour and a stronger evening register. Alemais is Australian as well, and of the three it is the closest on hand-craft and print,
though its palette runs more playful. Ulla Johnson is the New York option, romantic in
volume, and of the four it commits hardest to hand-loomed and hand-dyed cloth. Explore the full

What Ulla Johnson Costs
This piece, the Alisa Knit Top in Conch, is 680 USD at Coveti. Tops and knitwear are the
entry point to the range. Dresses and skirts sit in the middle, and the hand-embroidered
occasion gowns are the most expensive pieces the house makes. Denim is priced in the lower
half. On price the label is contemporary, on construction it is closer to designer, and the
hand-work and the artisan cloth are where that difference shows. The fabrics are natural
fibre rather than coated synthetics, so pieces hold their look.
