Mandy Johal

MJ is a Vancouver-born Creative Director working across fashion and brand, based in Los Angeles. Her global perspective is shaped by education and hands-on experience across North America and Europe, with a career rooted in editorial, luxury, and creative direction.

Growing up in Vancouver, MJ developed an early interest in fashion, culture, and design, which led her to study Global Fashion Marketing at Blanche Macdonald Centre. She later continued her fashion education at FIDM in Los Angeles, further deepening her understanding of the industry through a U.S. fashion lens. Together, these experiences built a strong foundation in branding, luxury markets, and fashion communications.

Following her studies, MJ gained industry experience in London, interning with KCD Worldwide, one of the world’s leading fashion PR agencies. During this time, she worked closely with elite clientele and supported press, showroom, and backstage operations during London Fashion Week, gaining first-hand exposure to the global fashion calendar and high-level brand execution.

MJ later expanded her editorial experience through Hearst, contributing to publications including ELLE, Harper’s Bazaar, and Town & Country. She worked closely with stylists and creative teams on set for editorial shoots, gaining hands-on experience in styling, visual direction, and fashion storytelling across digital and print platforms. This period refined her editorial eye and strengthened her ability to translate creative concepts into cohesive visual narratives.

Now based in Los Angeles, MJ works across fashion, luxury retail, and digital, collaborating with brands and creatives to develop elevated visual identities, campaigns, and content. Alongside her client work, she runs a clothing line as a personal creative extension, informed by her editorial background and refined approach to modern style.

Driven by a global outlook and a commitment to growth, MJ continues to build her creative practice while expanding into leadership roles within fashion and brand. Her work is defined by intentional storytelling, timeless design, and a thoughtful approach to contemporary luxury.
