I vaguely remember liking the F/W 04 collection when I saw it on Fashiontrance.

Wow....Victoria is really progressing rather well with VPL. I like this one alot.

Thanks Softie!

 

[Fashtastic]

Nice clothes! I like all of these a lot!

i love the pants (they are pants?) in the second outfit of post three!!
thanks for posting softgrey!

 

[softgrey]

you're welcome anna, scott, arturo...

i am really liking it too...it's a remarkably good progression from what started as basically an underwear collection...

i'm just wondering if the rest of it is as good...it's so frustrating because you can see the other looks in the background...but can't really make out the detail...

I really like the first top and her way of displaying. So i take it Victoria is from the US then?
It reminds me of a top I saw in a fashion book a couple of months ago that had a parachute type back and all the strings joined in the middle where there was a big hole, I thought it was gorgeous.

 

[Scott]

No Victoria is a stylist from London,in the first right. She was a regular contributor at Dazed & Confused.

i agree with fab about the top and presentation. its nice to see them all arranged together like that-very holistic...i think better than the usual catwalk. also think the shorts look nice and comfy.

It's nice to see them doing more than just underwear, I saw a video of this, i'll try to find it.

 

[softgrey]

fff-
she is english...and she is a stylist-as scott mentioned...but she's been based in ny for as long as i can remember...
she's been pretty big on the scene here..she even used to have certain club nights (lesbian nights) that she promoted...she's done a little of everything over the years...

i never thought this collection would get this far...i thought it was more or less another one of her whims...but it looks like she's going to take it all the way...so great for her...!!

 

[softgrey]

actually...now that i think about it...that first white top reminds me A LOT of the chalayan top that droogist is wearing today...

Ah...somebody must do their research a bit more as I always heard she only came to NY for the show.

Oh and she does design this collection with another person. I can't recall the guy's name but apparently he's a major part of the design process.

yeah...i know that she had a partner...
but on style.com they only mentioned her name...
maybe he's not involved any longer?...i don't know...

scott-*could also be that now that she's designing this line...she's cutting back on her styling and has moved back to london...i can't say for sure what she's been up to most recently...
