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 quite 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.

Today Lloyd discussed the exhibition with Robert Elms on London’s local BBC station 94.9. He appears about an hour in – listen again here (link may not work outside of UK/will be up for seven days after broadcast).
The show is on until March 3 – details here.
