Bringing NYC to Shrewsbury

Shrewsbury High School’s annual Art Show opened at Shrewsbury Museum and Art Gallery with a very special guest of honour in attendance.

SHS alumna and former creative director of Kate Spade New York, Deborah Lloyd returned to her former school to spend a day with its young artists.

Deborah held a Q & A session with GCSE and A-level art students, giving them an insight into the creative and business aspects of a career in the fashion industry. Her advice was to be tenacious, stand out from the crowd and have a point of view; always do your homework before meeting people, and to take pride in your work. If something is worth doing, do it to the very best of your ability, she urged.
