An Olive Branch For Autumn -VI/Fall 2016 for the week of October 10th

[carla rey]

One favorite classic color on many current designer runway shows for Fall 2016 is Olive Green. In its many incarnations, this beautiful autumn-perfect hue can run the gamut from the darker Loden to clear, bright Olive Oil green. According to Merriam-Webster.com: "the phrase Olive Green was first used in the year 1699" . . . and this vintage classic shade has been perennially popular in fashion for decades. Join the VFG as we extend an olive branch in this parade by showing all clothing items, accessories and jewelry in this hopeful, rich and earthy colorway.
