As part of our commitment to child rights, we promote a ‘positive discipline’ approach to raising children and invite parents, teachers, children and local authorities to take part in our positive discipline forums. This approach works on the basis of positive reinforcement, which encourages parents to treat children as equals and with respect, and allows children to take more responsibility for their own behaviour.

LAFW - Style Fashion Week - 2015 - Coco Johnsen Collection
The commitment of the Coco Johnsen brand is to consistently introduce luxurious and stylish collections of clothing and accessories to the marketplace.
Inspired by such powerful iconography as Diana Ross inMahogany and the well proportioned aesthetic of Oscar de Renta, Coco has centered her designs around her personal ideology of inner strength and outward beauty, which should never be considered mutually exclusive. Having traveled the world from Stockholm to Toyko as a model, actress and now designer, Coco Johnsen has acquired a distinctive take on how the modern woman dresses. Her love of powerful feminity, with more than a generous nod to Romanticism, is evident in the timelessly elegant gowns, cocktail dresses and suits that comprise her signature and ready to wear lines. Coco Johnsen’s collections are designed downtown in her Los Angeles atelier, and then expertly produced in Brazil and Los Angeles utilizing only the finest fabric, trims, and materials.
Coco Johnsen debuted her signature line at Mercedes benz Los Angeles Fashion week Spring / Summer 2008 to rave reviews. Her collection has appeared on the pages of
GQ Mexico, WWD, Apparel News, Geniux, Femme, Game, Pacific , In touch Weekly to name a few.
Coco Johnsen’s Spring summer 09 collection debuted at the Audis Husar Gallery in a collaborative effort to benefit the C.A.S.A foundation which is an organization benefiting Foster children by providing a court appointed advocate. Coco Johnsen is a designer who has evolved from orphan, model, actress into a sophisticated couturier and philanthropist.

Well those drifter's days are past me now
I've got so much more to think about
Deadlines and commitments
What to leave in, what to leave out
Against the wind
I'm still runnin' against the wind
I'm older now but still runnin' against the wind
Well I'm older now and still runnin'
Against the wind
Against the wind
Against the wind
Still runnin'

"Regardless of your academic focus, you will graduate having majored in leadership. The good news is that you will leave this hallowed institution well-prepared to meet the challenges your careers will place before you. When you graduate, look at your diploma. Understand what it represents. It doesn’t mean that you are ready to conquer the world any more than one from an Ivy League school, an MIT or Ga Tech, a Notre Dame, Michigan, Texas, or Stanford. It means you are ready to learn your profession through hands-on experience. It means you are ready to make your own luck.
