Statement Collars: The VFG Fashion Parade for the Week of September 2

Statement Collars

What exactly makes a statement collar … well, a statement collar?

Is it the exaggerated size? The intricacy of the design? The costly materials that are used – lace or jewels or fur? Does it even have to be attached to a garment? Or worn by a human being?

Here at the VFG, we trust that “you’ll know it when you see it.” So, scroll on down and check out this week’s offerings from our member sellers. And get ready for one of the biggest fashion trends of fall 2024.

 

This sweet party dress from the late 80s features a massive lace collar. B36 labeled size 7/8. In The Vintage Merchant now.
