Victoria Bartlett: Madonna Gave Her Fever

Victoria Bartlett fell in love before she fell into fashion. The creator of VPL -- a line that mixes body comfort and smart artistry – Bartlett studied art in her native London.

That’s when a young man who worked for punk designer Vivienne Westwood then stole Bartlett’s heart. She decided to go to the London College of Fashion and has never looked back. Bartlett who resembles a strawberry blonde nymphet, started as a stylist, working with Madonna among others. In the Nineties, she was appointed Fashion Director of Interview Magazine. And now, as a designer in her own right, consultant for Miss Sixty, and sometimes stylist, Bartlett is just known as plain “cool.”
