What’s Your AMMO?: EJ Johnson of #RichKids
There’s no introduction here, we ALL know who EJ Johnson is. The 21 year old sat down with us at The High Line Hotel (NYC) to chat about school, fashion, and what it’s like to be EJ.
What’s your AMMO?
My AMMO is the brand new pink python Celine bag my mom just brought me back from Monaco!
Fashion is your first love, what is one of your youngest and most vivid memories of a growing relationship with fashion?
I first fell in love with fashion upon moving to New York for school. NYC is the ultimate destination for all things fashion related.
When choosing a major for college, what made you pick hospitality? Are you pulling from the energy of your mogul father?
I chose event planning & hospitality because I’m really good at planning parties! I’ve always planned my own birthday parties for as long as I can remember.
Based on the trajectory of your current “fame” all of this has happened by a chance dinner moment with a friend captured by TMZ. You’ve now been signed on for several TV shows and will be a correspondent for Fashion Week. Are you enjoying the spotlight so far?
Yes, I am. I love the attention!
You came out to your parents at the age of 17 and then to the world just a couple years ago with full support from your family. Some young men do not receive that type of encouragement. What kind of advice can you offer those who are still living in the shadows?
It’s important that you love yourself first and foremost. Second, it’s incredibly important to surround yourself with loving friends or family or both. Not all families approve of their children coming out which breaks my heart. I am very fortunate to have loving and supportive parents. For those individuals with families who disapprove, its important to replace the void with loving friends who will support you no matter what.
Have you ever considered collaborating with your equally fashionable sister, Elisa, on a fashion project?
Yes, we’re working on it. Stay tuned!
Who are some of your icons?
Several of my icons include my parents; for sure. Rihanna, Beyonce, Oprah and Gaga.
If you could describe yourself by 1 type of food, 2 colors, and one animal what would you pick?
There’s definitely not one food item that identifies me best, but colors which describe me the best would be black and gold. Only one animal describes me best – that would be a lioness!! Ha!
