Manuel Pertegaz was born on this day in 1918. Paco Peralta asked me to contribute to his post for the designer’s centenary; see it here.

    A lovely tribute and we don’t hear enough about designers from other European countries….they don’t all come from France!
    Thanks for the information Sarah.

    Thanks for reminding me! I swear this is not blatant self promotion, but just additional reading for your readers. I did brief research about this amazing designer I had never heard of, Pertegaz, and wrote about him on this blog post. https://seweverythingblog.wordpress.com/2016/01/22/manuel-pertegaz-fashion-designer-1917-2014/
    Thank you in advance for letting me post the link. Feel free to delete it if you so wish 🙂 .
