Lloyd Allen is no stranger to the art scene. Moving to the East Coast from Texas in the early 1970s, he landed a job at the Metropolitan Opera millinery department where he resided for a number of years before going on to design and produce women’s clothing. Later, at the launch of MTV, he wrote and produced the first fashion video broadcast by the channel.
