Legacies of Style: Author Linda Jane Holden on Bunny Mellon and Nantucket Looms
Description
Welcome back to Classic & Curious—In this episode, we step into the world of style, legacy, and artistry with author Linda Jane Holden, who has beautifully captured the stories of two icons: the legendary Bunny Mellon and the beloved brand Nantucket Looms.
For those who admire gardens, timeless design, and exquisite taste, Linda offers a rare, personal perspective on Bunny Mellon—drawing from her own encounters and three books dedicated to Mellon’s life. She reveals Bunny’s signature blend of humility, refinement, and impeccable style, qualities that made her a tastemaker and admired gardener worldwide.
Linda also shines a light on Nantucket Looms, a brand cherished by Bunny, Jackie Kennedy, and countless others who appreciate its artisan craftsmanship and enduring charm.
Through her elegant storytelling, Linda not only honors these remarkable legacies but also invites us to reflect on how artistry, design, and nature intertwine to shape a truly classic life. Along the way, she shares glimpses of her own remarkable journey—from her time at the White House to an unforgettable lunch with Hubert de Givenchy.
Most importantly, Linda’s humble, approachable nature makes her instantly inviting—and it’s easy to see why her books, and the words within them, are so widely admired.
