Lloyd Johnson (fashion retailer)

Lloyd William Johnson (born 23 May 1945 in Enfield, Middlesex) is an English fashion entrepreneur.

His independent London boutiques created a strong international following among popular music performers and celebrities from the 1960s to the 1990s, including Bob Dylan, Rod Stewart, Jack Nicholson, David Bailey, Jonathan Ross, The Clash, Madness, George Michael, Iggy Pop, Tom Waits, Fun Lovin Criminals, Oasis and The Pretenders.

Designs from Johnson's labels Cockell & Johnson, Johnson & Johnson, Johnson's The Modern Outfitter and La Rocka! appeared on record sleeves (such as Stewart's 1970 album Gasoline Alley and Madness's 1979 single One Step Beyond), in promo videos (George Michael's 1987 Faith), films (Jim Jarmusch's 1986 Down by Law and 1988 Mystery Train) and as stage costumes (David Bowie's 1988 Glass Spider tour).

Simultaneously Johnson's clothes were popular with music fans and fashion followers, particularly after being championed in British style magazines such as The Face. The magazine's founder Nick Logan wrote in 2012: "Lloyd Johnson is up there with the likes of Paul Smith and Joseph Ettedgui in making London what it is today...he is one of the crucial figures in the development of British style.
