bal newbie O.G. Sep 16, 2006 994 4 Dec 28, 2006 #3 Dec 28, 2006 #3 yup i've heard SA's at BalNY call the red from FW06 both of those names
M murasaki Balenciaga Forever Jan 7, 2006 1,034 0 Dec 28, 2006 #4 Dec 28, 2006 #4 It seems like the SAs tend to give the color names a new interpretation from the french ones to better describe the color.. IMO.

Rondafaye O.G. Aug 20, 2006 3,405 13 Dec 29, 2006 #9 Dec 29, 2006 #9 There was a thread on that awhile back. The French to English dictionary indicates that vif means "shocking."
