As part of my mission for "me" time, I am reading every night before bed (just like when I was a kid). The book on my nightstand these days is Vintage Fashion. I really like it, it kind of reminds me of my days back in fashion school. It has a text book feel without being horribly boring. This books takes you back to the roots of fashion and highlights those forgotten designers that really paved the way to the great fashions that we see today.
