VPL: VICTORIA BARTLETTMick Margo Member Since Spring 2006What was your inspiration for the Fall 2008 Collection?
Musculature// VPL Fall/Winter 2008
VPL revisits the anatomical voyage following the inspirations of Hans Bellmer and Louise Bourgeois; Both of whom have a deep and abstract fascination with the female form. Bellmer’s muscular delineation and Bourqeois’s glandular forms inspired this season’s love for body geography. I am always inspired by medical concepts: sutures and stitches, surgical colors, etc. I always pull inspiration from anatomical concepts or body geography, leading to the theme of Musculature. What was it that made you want to become a designer?
When I was young I liked art, then I fell into fine art. During school, I found a niche in textiles and textile printing when I was about 17. {Not to mention, I liked a boy in school who was interested in fashion, so my crush on that boy motivated me to take some fashion classes!}
What is the favorite piece you've ever created?
I made a vest made of used ballet slippers for our fall/winter 2006 runway show. Dance and body always inspire me, so it’s a piece that has a lot of meaning to me.
Who is your style icon?
Tilda Swinton because she is an independent and self-assured woman.
What do you like most about the city you live in?
New York is a melting pot of different cultures, it’s easy to initiate ideas, there is a whirlpool of information, and you can do what you want; There is a capacity to do so. This doesn’t come so naturally other places. There are different cultures of people and nobody is entrenched in tradition.
If you were stranded on a desert island, what item would you take with you?
Binoculars.
What is your all time favorite song?
Voyager by Alan Parsons Project.
What is your all time favorite movie?
The Decalogues by Kieslowski. |
