Remarks The publisher Robas asked fashion photographer Paul Huf to select 100 pictures from a heap of 1,000 rs-images on colour and texture, in this way bringing arts and science together again. When I saw the book I was taken by the image shown here. Knowing the publisher I asked whether it was possible to buy an enlarged and framed copy, which he executed admirably. Having been dragged in the 1980s in London through many Laura Ashley shops by a girlfriend I gave the picture its present title. The original is much brighter and shows far more hues than the .jpg shown here.
