In Jujurieux, France there is a textile museum which is still at a
functioning textile plant that fashioned velvets, damasks and other
extraordinary fabrics. It is in this historic setting that the Madeleine
Vionnet collection was conceived and woven. And from this museum and their
site is this interesting timeline.
