VPL is founded upon the desire to develop a new arena in the designer
market to draw a new bridge between underwear and sportswear. By
redefining preexisting concepts, VPL will present the next generation of
mixers. Visible, industrial, dual-functional and the idea that a garment
can be utilized in many ways are the basics for what VPL stands for.

Supportive panels, multi-functional pockets, corrective strapping, and
strategic stitching ll add to the functionality of VPL. By including these
functional elements VPL brings attention to the aesthetic form of these
otherwise utilitarian concepts. In hopes of reinterpreting the undergarment
industry, VPL has created a line that operates on many levels, combining
both form and function in underwear and mixers that should be visible
rather than invisible.

The collections are inspired by medical and utilitarian design but utilize
these tools in a very fluid and sensual way. The core color palette consists
of nudes, whites and greys with shots of color, such as reds to mechanical
green and strong vermilion, emphasizes the visibility of the VPL designs.

VPL was founded in 2003 by fashion director and designer, Victoria Bartlett.
She created VPL in order to form a new niche in the underwear market.
Furthermore, through the development of this niche,undergarments may
pose not only as foundation but also as outerwear for the everyday
uniform. She hopes to make VPL an important entity in the designer
marketplace.
