Lloyd Scott Tyler spoke of the types of work involved in the Fashion Industry. i.e. Production, Editorial, Shows and Commerical. He spoke of it as a fast paced and competitive environment. It was interesting to hear his advice to those students who are inclined towards this type of work, but it is not something that I would ever consider or be suited too. I will enjoy a more slow paced life when I finish college!

He imparted some sound advice ..... to be inventive with style and clothing ..... to source clothes from many different people, friends, family, street style ....to mix high street fashion with high fashion .... to look at all kinds of sources from Hollywood to Music to the objects and sculpture around us, to how emotions affect us and then to look at fabrics...the colour ... the patterns and the themes.

The evolution of fashion is very much in line with the evolution of the photograph ...taking sources from history ...using derivation and evolving a style to suit the individual artist/designer.

As a more mature student I have seen many fashions come and go. But the one thing I do notice is that nothing is really original. Everything is derived from history .... everything makes a re-appearance in one form or another.

I enjoyed Lloyd Tyler's lecture/discussion,he portrayed someone who is enthusiastic about his work and remains excited about what he does. He was generous in his sharing of knowledge, and seemed like a friendly and helpful person to get in touch with if Fashion is your "bag."
