Lucienne Day

Such beautiful and witty fabrics, Lucienne's thoughtful ideas are still seen.

This is "Fuego" designed for Heal's in the early 1960s - the V&A has some in its Textiles collection, but no image - here you are!

 And just seen this bit in the Guardian's Obituaries.

Recommended listening: Bill Evans' "Midnight Mood"
