.The spontaneous hand-drawn beauty of Steve O Johnson's work needs to be attended be felt. Over London Style Full week, passers-by at Dover Street Market stopped dead to admire the inside-and out perfectionism of a couple of parts of his spring season collection which were holding on a rail. It was like checking out 3-D free-hand monochrome lifestyle illustrations recorded in air.There were actually price-tags, yes, yet this was actually the opposite of a see-now-buy-now scenario.

"It's definitely interesting as well as satisfying, talking with folks who have the patience to buy and stand by," Johnson said. "That is actually just how I would like to operate-- to build a present day atelier.".
