As P Johnson celebrates its 15th anniversary, we explore the brand’s journey to become a global fashion powerhouse. This feature delves into the Australian perspective on style, the philosophy behind P Johnson, and the vision that has shaped its success. Join us for insights into the world of bespoke tailoring and timeless elegance that defines the P Johnson name.
In the world of fashion, where trends come and go in the blink of an eye, P Johnson has stood the test of time, celebrating 15 years of sartorial excellence. What began as a roving tailor service, with Patrick Johnson and his business partner Tom fitting clients in offices across the city, has expanded into a global brand synonymous with impeccable taste and craftsmanship.
From its humble beginnings, P Johnson has remained steadfast in its mission: to guide clients towards the most tasteful wardrobes, simplify their lives, and create unforgettable experiences along the way. Today, the brand's offering has expanded to include a full range of women’s and men's ready-to-wear and made-to-order clothing, covering every aspect of the modern wardrobe.
At the heart of P Johnson’s success lies Patrick Johnson’s commitment to beauty in clothing. This dedication is evident in the brand’s crafted approach, use of top-shelf fabrics, and unique in-store experiences. The P Johnson stores are an extension of the brand’s aesthetic philosophy, benefiting from the design expertise of Patrick’s wife, acclaimed interior designer Tamsin Johnson. Her distinctive blend of opulence and freshness creates welcoming, homely spaces that perfectly complement the brand’s aesthetic.
The P Johnson empire now spans the globe, with stores in New York’s Soho and London's Fitzrovia and multiple locations across Australia. From Sydney to Melbourne, Brisbane, to the upcoming women’s space in High Street Armadale, P Johnson continues
to bring it’s unique vision of style to discerning clients worldwide.
As the brand celebrates this milestone, Patrick Johnson reflects on the journey and the philosophy that has guided P Johnson’s success. In a letter to readers, he shares his thoughts on the Australian perspective, the importance of beautiful clothes, and his vision for a life well-lived:
“As a late teen, I once saw a bumper sticker that read, ‘If you ain't livin’ on the edge, you’re takin’ up too much space’. I liked it. While growing up in Australia had its more obvious privileges and freedoms it can, at times, also leave something a little more cultivated to be desired. Apart from a healthy disengagement from pomposity, I now see the greatest of those privileges is our relative isolation.”
Patrick’s unique perspective, shaped by Australia’s geographic and cultural position, has informed the brand’s approach to fashion and lifestyle. He continues:
“From a distance, we can evaluate, salvage, refine, cherry-pick and augment all the best things that other societies have long established. I feel a peculiar urgency to accelerate our own tastes, to communicate beauty, deliberate on it, and to convince the unconvinced of its value to us.”
This passion for beauty and refinement is at the core of P Johnson’s ethos. Patrick sees beautiful clothes as just the beginning of a journey towards a more considered, enjoyable life:
“Beautiful clothes, their sensuality, their organics, and their crafted nature is just a start, but it’s a start I know I can help with. Then, convincing ourselves of the value of dressing well, discovering what that is for each person, learning the language of it and reestablishing the dialogue that is next, and then there is the rest of it - art, music, film, interiors, buildings and landscapes.”
As P Johnson looks to the future, Patrick’s message is clear: slow down, appreciate beauty, and live life to the fullest. In his words, “Live Slow - Die Old.” It’s a philosophy that has served P Johnson well for 15 years and promises to guide the brand for many more to come. ■

THE ART OF Reko Rennie
The Art of Reko Rennie is a landmark exhibition showcasing the artist's largest presentation of work to date and his first-ever retrospective. With over 100 pieces on display, including recent acquisitions and new works, the exhibition spans Rennie's twodecades-plus career, offering a comprehensive exploration of his powerful artistic responses to history, culture, and materials Rennie, globally renowned for his distinctive style, integrates street art principles with contemporary art forms and traditional Kamilaroi designs. His work merges traditional diamondshaped patterns, hand-drawn symbols, and repetitive motifs with modern mediums such as printmaking, sculpture, video, painting, and neon. Through this unique approach, Rennie challenges romantic notions of Aboriginal identity.
The artist's impressive career includes exhibitions across Australia, Asia, the United States, and Europe, notably at the 56th Venice Biennale in 2015 and the XIII Bienal de Cuenca in Ecuador in 2016. Committing to full-time art practice in 2008, Rennie received the Victorian Indigenous Art Award that same year and has since been featured in major State collections and received significant public art commissions throughout Australia.
A highlight of the exhibition is the NGV debut of REMEMBER ME (2020), a monumental 15-metre-wide light sculpture commissioned by Carriageworks and acquired by the NGV.
This piece is a contemporary memorial acknowledging the frontier wars and their impact on Aboriginal communities.
Another key work is the three-channel film Initiation OA_RR (2021), featuring a pink 1973 Holden Monaro performing burnouts, referencing 'Westie' drag-racing culture and First Peoples initiation practices. The film is accompanied by an original operatic score composed and performed by Yorta Yorta soprano Deborah Cheetham AO.
The exhibition also includes OA_RR (2016), showcasing a Rolls Royce adorned with Rennie's signature camouflage design in bold pink, black, and beige. This piece, along with the accompanying video, explores themes of visibility and reclamation of Kamilaroi Country.
Rekospective represents the full scope of Rennie's artistic journey, from his earliest street art-inspired paintings to his evolving Original Aboriginal camouflage designs. The exhibition features early bronze sculptures, steel totems, and new works in marble and light, demonstrating Rennie's versatility across various materials and subjects.
Largely autobiographical, Rennie's art explores his experiences as a First Nations person navigating contemporary society, art spaces, politics, and culture. His work contributes significantly to discussions surrounding First Peoples’ identity in contemporary art and provokes conversations about Australia's colonial legacy.
Rekospective: The Art of Reko Rennie is on display from 11 October 2024 to 27 January 2025 at The Ian Potter Centre: NGV Australia at Fed Square. ■
