May 9th Vintage Fashion Parade: The Color of The Year: Honeysuckle!

As the Pantone site says about honeysuckle, its 2011 color of the year:





"Courageous. Confident. Vital. A brave new color, for a brave new world…"






Honeysuckle is indeed a vibrant, gorgeous color, but it has been around before. Why not show off this bold and beautiful pink in vintage style?

April 4 Fashion Parade: Honoring the Memory of Elizabeth Taylor

With the death of Elizabeth Taylor on March 23, the world lost one of its most glamorous stars, a woman of supreme talent, beauty and humanity. A two-time Oscar winner, she used her spotlight to promote social causes; she became the first celebrity AIDS activist, and raised over $100 million for that cause.








In her over 7 decades in the public eye, Elizabeth Taylor's style made headlines. Her on-screen looks ranged from her sweet child-star image in National Velvet (1944), to the overtly sensual style of Maggie in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (1958), to the lavish historical costuming for her title role in Cleopatra (1960), and to her transformation into the vitriolic middle-aged housewife Martha in Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf (1966). Off screen, Elizabeth Taylor showed considerable glamour, drama and panache. Passionate about jewelry, she acquired a splendid and important collection.







Richard Burton, describing the first time he saw Taylor in 1952, said "she was unquestionably gorgeous...She was lavish. She was a dark unyielding largesse. She was, in short, too bloody much."







Some have described Elizabeth Taylor as the last great movie star, and with her death comes the end of an era.

Get the Look: Audrey Hepburn

Arguably the favorite style icon of all, Audrey Hepburn inspired designers (Givenchy most especially) with her unusual and extraordinary beauty, balletic grace and talent. She will always be the original gamine.

From the full skirts of Sabrina to the Little Black Dress of Breakfast at Tiffany's, Audrey's on-screen image (along with her off-screen chic) has continuously inspired. This week the VFG pays tribute to this beloved icon with Audrey-worthy choices from our collections.
