//Lloyd takes a break to chat to (from left): Chelsea Space director Donald Smith, Eve Ferrett + Mark Summerfield.//

Among friends dropping in at Chelsea Space to check out the Lloyd Johnson show installation yesterday were performer Eve Ferrett and her other half Mark Summerfield.

Eve and Mark told us they were knocked out by the way it is shaping up; a lot of progress has been made with the upper part of the space and the ramp is beginning to take shape, as is the area which reflects Lloyd’s retail manifestations Cockell & Johnson and Johnson & Johnson (1968-1974).

And I got to ponce about in one of the fun fur clubwear/Brian Jones coats from the 90s.

Lloyd Johnson: The Modern Outfitter opens next Tuesday, January 24, at Chelsea Space, John Islip Street, London SW1P 4JU. Full details here.
