Nick Logan (the founder of The Face magazine)has described this exhibition as being long overdue. "It's time Lloyd Johnson's story was told; he is a great guy, one of the crucial figures in the development of British style."
The show is on at Chelsea space, 16 John Islip St SW1P (two minutes from Pimlico tube)

I went to the very well attended opening. It felt like there was a lot of love in the room for this guy whose fans included George Micheal, Joe Strummer, Keith Richards, Tom Waits, and even Bob Dylan.
