Nadine Johnson

When Vladimir Restoin-Roitfeld assembled the team behind his latest exhibit, "The Martus Maw" by Nicolas Pol, he hired Nadine Johnson & Associates as his public relations firm. Born in the Belgian Congo, Johnson moved to New York and began to successfully distinguish herself in public relations where her penchant for partying proved to be an asset. As was her marriage to Richard Johnson, Page Six editor for the New York Post. Neither did her maternal responsibilities interfere with her career, as her friend Euan Rellie describes the scene: “Toby Young and I used to live down the street from Nadine on Perry Street. She would come to our parties, impossibly languid and chic, usually carrying her then six-year-old son. She would put him down asleep on a sofa somewhere and be the life and soul of the party, drinking and carousing, before eventually picking him up like a handbag and taking him back down the street to bed.” Nadine Johnson & Associates was formed in 1990 and counts among the fashionable and wealthy many clients such as Andre Balazs and Larry Gagosian. Johnson's group was also responsible for promoting Indochine's 25th annniversary event.
