The life and work of Steven Campbell has been reassessed - through fashion.

Image caption,Carol, who grew up in Maryhill, said: "New York still had a real raw edge to it, but it was a really exciting time. We would have access to go along to things that wouldn't normally have come into our radar.

A key concept of this was sumptuary laws of Queen Elizabeth in the 1500s, where rules were in place on which fabrics people were allowed to wear - based on their social 'rank' and wealth. Carol, who worked as a teacher, said: "I'd never really examined Steven's art through that kind of lens before. Did he paint figures that were like him, or did the figures he paint ultimately influence the way he dressed?

Lord Snowden visited the home of Steven and Carol near the Campsies shortly after the couple returned to Scotland. Carol remembers that they were worried in advance of the visit, as there was no furniture in the house yet apart from a few camping chairs.
