There s a reason Victoria Bartlett s Spring theme, anatomy, felt so right. "I probably should have been a doctor," she said. "I m obsessed with anything related to the human body." After all, the designer s aesthetic is heavy on bandaged jersey dresses, spliced knits, and sheer fabrics. Her current collection didn t stray from these VPL staples but built on them with the addition of prints—a first for the brand. Don t expect florals here, though: Bartlett used an X-ray of her skull she had blown up into abstraction. Elsewhere, gauzy vests and cardigans hinted at the motif while adding a lightness that s emerged as an early trend in the New York collections. The diagnosis? Many standout pieces Bartlett s fans will want to further examine.
