His Love For Clothes
John said, I’m obsessed with clothes and I find it very easy to write about them. I’m fashionable once, for about three months every 15 years. My look is very easy to maintain but that wasn’t always the case – in the 80s, I couldn’t find anything. Every time I get tubular ivy league blazer that didn’t have padded shoulders I had to treat it like it made out of gold. They were never out of the dry cleaners – I only wear them to weddings, funerals, and gigs, and I’ve still got them now.
“I always have a deep affection for my clothes but had trouble finding new clothes that go with my thin body and long thin legs”. After that, I use to wear great styles and I made these outfits myself”. John goes for lean, fit slim fit jackets and skinny trousers with simple shirts for his on-stage shows.
