Victoria Bartlett - Modern Suffragettes

Victoria Bartlett's latest VPL collection has been titled "Modern Suffragettes" - and pays homage to the women who fought for the cause of women's equality in the 20th century.

From Fashion Wire Daily:

"We wanted to do a topical show," said Bartlett in her sunny New York showroom on a crisp spring day. "Heroic women who fought for women's independence."

Each of these women are represented through different styles, with period details given a modern edge there are the fitted Victorian-style jackets that reference Pankhurst's turn-of-the-century style, but lack the discomfort of the originals made with a French terry designed to look like a woven fabric. A top with silver metallic "sash" is reminiscent of a suffragette's banner while the "Toklas Tunic" with Twenties-esque drop waist and scarf tie.

For the second season in a row, VPL also collaborated with Jean Michel Cazabet to produce chic shoes and boots high patent leather wedge boots with side snaps and Mary Janes with VPL's signature elastic bands for straps.
