Features clothing trends that never really happened. This book includes entries, which focus on a single ersatz garment from an actual historical era, such as the Swinging Sixties, accompanied by an illustration.
"Forgotten Fashion" is a fake history book of clothing trends that never really happened. Each 600-word entry focuses on a single ersatz garment from an actual historical era, such as the Swinging Sixties, accompanied by an illustration.The text mixes fictional designers, made-up muses, and totally imaginary trendsetters with real people and places. Each bite-sized section reads somewhat like a humorous short-story, tracing the birth, life and death of a trend - and always reflecting something about the mood of the times in which the style was popular.Often, the demise of a trend is brought about by an unfortunate incident, which helps explain to the reader why a must-have item was so quickly "forgotten."
