Lloyd Johnson: The Modern Outfitter private view

Lloyd Johnson: The Modern Outfitter private view, Chelsea Space, London, Jan 24, 2011.

We knew there was going to be a bit of a turn-out because the RSVPs ran way past the 100 mark on the day the invites were dispatched, but I don’t think any of us involved in Lloyd Johnson: The Modern Outfitter expected such a huge gathering for last night’s private view.

With everyone on top form and splendidly attired, the party to launch the show was a testament to the widely-held respect and affection for Lloyd and his work.
