In the Fall of 2003, Victoria branched out on her own as the sole designer and originator of VPL. This award-winning line filled a niche between lingerie and sportswear with utilitarian, stylish garments that were meant to be mixed, matched, and layered. Merging comfort, functionality, and fashion, VPL positioned itself well as an everyday uniform for a sophisticated, multi-faced clientele. The line grew in the high-end contemporary collection, and in 2013 it extended into fashion active with the addition of swim, shoes and accessories, with collections sold in more than 25 countries with hundreds of retail partners and a flagship store in SOHO.
