Viva Magenta!-the VFG parade for the week of January 2nd

Viva Magenta

Pantone describes its pick for the Color of the Year as "powerful and empowering. [Viva Magenta] is an animated red that revels in pure joy, encouraging experimentation and self-expression without restraint, an electrifying, and a boundless shade that is manifesting as a stand-out statement."

Encouraging experimentation and self-expression? Pure joy? Sounds like vintage fashion to us!

This week, revel in magenta, brought to you by the Vintage Fashion Guild!
