• Background

Salto de línea There have been numerous publications on the Museo del Traje Facebook page relating to prints of fashion magazines from the Library. A number of people have asked us whether these images were available as prints to purchase in the Museum shop. This led us to get in touch with the shop and put the idea to them. They really liked it and are happy to put it into action. All we need to do is give them a selection of prints. And, who better to make this choice than the Museo del Traje’s social community?

How do I take part?

Ten pieces from four collections of publications that are all available in the Virtual Bibliographic Heritage and Historical Press Library have been selected. From these ten images in each collection, we are looking for the four that are best liked. In total, the final selection will be made up of sixteen prints to be sold in the Museo del Traje shop.
