In the enchanting palette of autumn, the colour green serves as a soothing presence amidst the fiery tones of fall, offering a sense of balance and harmony during a season of change and transformation. Often considered a symbol of growth and renewal, the word ‘green’ originates from the Middle English/Old English word ‘grene,’ which has the same root as the words “grass” and “grow.”
Green was a fashionable choice for the Victorian elite; however, the popular ‘Scheele’s green’ and ‘Paris green’ of the era were later banned due to their highly toxic arsenic pigments. Fortunately, going green now is synonymous with good health and eco-friendly living, and this magical colour has long remained popular in vintage fashion. This week, the VFG is giving the green light to verdant hues, so whether embracing its calming vibes or making a bold fashion statement, there is sure to be a shade in this versatile palette to suit your style. • Visit our fabulous forums for even more vintage fashion in green!
