The Romance of Fine Linen

  • Museum of Old Newbury 98 High Street Newburyport, MA 01950 United States (map)

Join Fashion Historian Lois Valeo for another Fashion Night Out Talk…..The Romance of Fine Linen.

The appeal of soft-spoken fabrics has more to do with the soul than with use or style….

If linens speak to you on a very personal level and you live your life surrounded with the quiet elegance of fine fabrics….you will enjoy this illustrated lecture accompanied by many unique Museum pieces of early linen aprons, handkerchiefs, bedding, towels, pockets, collars, cuffs, caps and more!

Lois Valeo is a retired Adjunct Professor of Fashion History and a member of The Museum of Old Newbury Board of Directors where she cares for the museum’s extensive dress and accessory collection.  This is her eighth Fashion Night Out Talk.

Come at 6:30 for a light reception before the event. Free for members; $10 for non-members.
