ATL+ Magazine is thrilled to welcome Johannes Escobar, the newest addition to our team as Fashion Editor and Media Correspondent. This Bay Area native brings a wealth of knowledge and passion for fashion and urban street culture, making him a perfect fit for our magazine. Growing up in the Bay Area, Johannes was heavily influenced by his mother’s custom DIY costume designs, sparking his love for fashion from an early age. He was particularly drawn to the unique style of the luxury streetwear brand Pink Dolphin and found inspiration in fashion icons like J. Cole, Kanye West, and A$AP Rocky. As a teenager, he immersed himself in the world of rare sneakers and luxury goods, trading and collecting with other enthusiasts in the Bay Area community. In 2017, Johannes took a step towards modeling, signing with BlackWell Files and gaining valuable experience while working with well-known brands like McDonald’s. However, his true passion lay in fashion styling, and he pursued it further when he joined the team of celebrity wardrobe stylist Drushing as an executive assistant. From there, he went on to style various clients, from up-and-coming rappers like Lakeyah to TV personalities like Sierra Glamshop, solidifying his presence in the fashion industry. As his career progressed, Johannes delved into fashion show productions, an arena that truly represents the pinnacle of the fashion world. He started as an intern at Runway Buy during Miami Swim Week 2022 and continued his journey as a dresserfashion world.
