Johns was lauded for his magnificent fashion sense. From long socks with hairy sandals, to see through plastic pants purchased from roadside servo in France. Several definite fashions faux pas.
Recollections include dying hair with peroxide in Paris, however this killed the bulk of his follicles resulting in significant hair loss and decrease in modelling contracts.
