Byron Bay fashion designer gets lucky break when Kylie Jenner shares photos of their frocks

Earlier this week, a fledgling Australian fashion designer woke to the news that their frocks had just been endorsed by Kylie Jenner.

The influential 21-year-old donned dresses by the label Johansen in an impromptu hotel room photoshoot shared with her 114 million Instagram followers on Thursday.

Jessica Johansen-Bell, the owner of the small, local label based in Byron Bay, released a statement revealing she felt the plug was worth $4 million.

The statement, shared by The Northern Star, read: ‘It has become industry knowledge that a product sponsored Instagram post published by the recently declared billionaire will set back any company approximately $1 million per photo.

‘On Tuesday morning, Ms Johansen woke up to four photos uploaded by Kylie Jenner in one of Johansen’s Australian designed and made dresses to her 113 million followers,’ it concluded. 

At $1 million a pop, had the small label paid for the product placement, the company would be out $4 million dollars. 

The dress that caused all the fuss is the white cotton Corset Jumper Dress, which costs $349 and also comes in black.
