On May 3rd, Chef Dan Bazzinotti will be preparing an excellent 5-course paired perfectly with Chiarli wines. Each dish will feature seasonal ingredients hot off our Italian wood-fired grill. Ranging in styles from  sparkling Blanc de Blanc to a Metodo Classico Lambrusco, the selection of wines will perfectly complement each of the rustic dishes. And throughout the evening, the great-grandchildren of Cleto Chiarli will be sharing their compelling stories and insight about the winery and its products.

About the Lasell Fashion Collection
Established in 1996, the Lasell Fashion Collection (LFC) contains approximately 3,000 objects and currently resides in the Donahue Center for Creative and Applied Arts. While the collection spans 200 years of fashion history, the LFC is notable for its 20th century designer fashions, with an emphasis on couture. In 2018, over 1,200 artifacts were transferred to the LFC upon the closure of the American Textile History Museum in Lowell, MA. This important acquisition enriched the breadth and depth of the LFC’s holdings, specifically in 19th and early 20th century everyday wear, undergarments, and accessories.

About Boston Fashion Week
This year marks the 25th anniversary of Boston Week! Boston Fashion Week was founded as a civic initiative in 1995. The force behind the week has been dedicated to creating opportunities that increase the viability and visibility of the local industry. The series of fashion related events throughout Greater Boston and beyond serves as a platform for both established industry professionals and aspiring newcomers to showcase their work as well as network with peers and the public.
