The fashion shoot took place at Roussillon, France, a commune located in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur, roughly midway between Avignon and Aix-en-Provence.

France Today shares Roussillon’s nickname the “Colorado Provençal”. It is in the heart of one of the biggest ochre deposits in the world–one that extends from Apt to Roussillon via Gargas and Rustrel.

Scientists confirm that humans discovered ochre 300,000 ago and used it in the oldest cave paintings. Intrigued by this ochre story and its widespread use in the textile industry around the time of the French Revolution, it’s time for Anne to put Lulu on an AI investigation.
