Paragraph relating to removed image

edit

A picture of a suit was removed from the article in 2014: see WP:Files for deletion/2014 June 11#File:Lycett green 1968 suit.jpg. This left the following paragraph rather pointless:

The 1968 suit shown here is a good example of Lycett Green's work for Blades, and was made from Lyon brocaded silk itself made in 1953. It was worn by Lycett Green himself and given to the Victoria and Albert Museum by him, where it appears in their fashion gallery. The V&A description states, "This suit combines a resolutely modern cut with a jacquard-woven silk woven with a Victorian pattern".[1]

I see that an editor in that discussion intended to go to the V&A and photograph the suit, which may have been why the paragraph was left in the article; but he reported that it was no longer on display. So, nine years on, I think it's time to remove the paragraph. (I considered editing it to remove reference to the photograph, but I don't think there's anything usable in it without the photo).
