Lloyd Johnson Pulls a Crowd

Johnsons Fans gather outside of CHELSEA space

The Lloyd Johnson private view at CHELSEA space was a huge success and friends, fans and collectors came from all over the world to celebrate Lloyd and revisit his brilliant designs.

The big question was what to wear, some people dusted down their Johnsons and La Rocka gear whilst Lloyd, ever the mod/Ivy leaguer, wore a three piece American wool suit, complete with watch chain, silk tie, and brogues. A great night and a great look.
