Marching Orders-the VFG parade for the week of March 6th

Marching Orders
From 18th century riding habits to camouflage prints everywhere, style elements borrowed from uniforms and garments that were originally made military use have made their way onto runways and into people's closets. This week, our VFG members show us their best military-inspired vintage!
