‘Forgotten Fashion’ Contest Winner!

October 6, 2008 by Tom

We have a winner in our drawing for the book Forgotten Fashion: An Illustrated Faux History of Outrageous Trends and Their Untimely Demise. We held the contest in honor of the season premiere of Ugly Betty.

And the winner is….

Swan!

(BTW, Swan, be on the lookout for an email from me; we’ll work out the particulars and we’ll get the prize right out to you).

I had some time while the contest was going on to thumb through the book, it’s wonderful! I love the style – written in historical style with a touch of irony. It was well researched, and I learned many things I didn’t know. It’s kind of sad, there were a couple of items from the 70’s and 80’s I remember well.

It’s a very fun read; if you’d like to get your own copy, check it out and the book’s web site.

Congratulations Swan!
