The Goodwood Revival is the worlds most popular historic motor race meeting, the only event of it’s kind to be staged entirely in a nostalgic time capsule of the 1940s, 50s and 60s. It holds a dedicated Ladies Day as well as the daily Best Dressed competition for both Ladies and Gents. This year Deborah and her husband William have been asked to join the expert judges at The Goodwood Revival  ‘Best Dressed’ competition. Regulars to all three days of The Goodwood Revival for several years, Deborah and her picture frame maker husband William have both previously been short listed in the event’s Best Dressed competition. 

The Best Dressed competition is run by the Creative Director of Men's File Archive Nick Clements and fashion photographer Matt Hind. Nick and Matt will be at The Goodwood Revival again this year picking out candidates for the coveted ‘Best Dressed’ award. Those that look the part and embrace the spirit of dressing up with élan and sophistication will be invited to be photographed in the Men's File on-site studio. Prizes will be awarded by the judges each day for categories to be confirmed.
