Cannon Johns,
born somewhere in Switzerland in the summer of 2002. The exact date and circumstances of his birth are unknown since he was immediately placed in a basket and tossed in a river. Young Cannon rode the pristine Alpine glacial melt waters for hundreds of miles before a young Milanese woman discovered the basket along the banks of the river Po. Some say it was this first early journey to Milan that fueled his love for both exploration and fashion.

The woman would raise Cannon as her own, naming him Cannon after her father and giving him the surname Johns to reflect his Swiss heritage as well as his humility.
