Victoria Bartlett has cornered the knit market with her on-trend, sexy spin on the classic sweater, and the VPL by Victoria Bartlett Fall '12 collection gave us many more iterations to love. Known for her body-conscious silhouettes and athletic aesthetic, the designer offered up avant-garde, futuristic chic with ornate spiderweb-inspired cable-knit pieces, drapey cowl-neck tops and dresses, and bright pops of color and metallic sheen. Models also wore tight, solid leggings layered with strong-shoulder sweaters, shin guards, and of course VPL's signature colorblock underpinnings — looking almost ready for a battle. Get the full breakdown below.

Trends: Cutouts, spiderweb-esque knitting, paper bag details, asymmetrical sleeves.
Colors: Cream, charcoal gray, mauve, yellow, tan, aubergine.
Key Piece: The one-piece gray cable-knit jumpsuit is amazing — like après-ski for the Jetsons.
Accessories: Jersey shin guards, loose leather ankle boots, space-age collar necklaces.
Who Would Wear It: Risk-taking style stars like Gwen Stefani and Rihanna.

>> VPL's sporty aesthetic remains in tact for Fall 2012. Designer Victoria Bartlett sent her signature innerwear-as-outerwear aesthetic down the catwalk, but this season's offering was updated with extreme draping, heavy asymmetry, chunky knits, and earthy tones. Yellow and a few printed pieces were also in the mix, providing contrast to all the sportiness. Fall's pieces — some wearable, others better left to the models — are for the girl who doesn't mind showing off her figure.

Fall 2011 New York Fashion Week: VPL by Victoria Bartlett

Victoria Bartlett Creates Latex Trench Coats and Skin Suits For VPL’s Fall 2011 Collection

>> Victoria Bartlett found inspiration inside the body, deep down to the umbilical cords, for her VPL Fall 2011 collection, which ebbed and flowed between draped silhouettes and more sculptural pieces. Inspired by artists Piero Manzoni and Joseph Beuys for their multi-textural sculptures, Bartlett created languid one-shoulder jersey dresses, leather tops, latex trench coats, textured jackets, angular boiled wool skirts, along with nylon accordion-pleated pieces inspired by Dustin Yellin to replicate her idea of hard and soft, or what she calls “stretch and fold.” The designer also experimented with warmer hues like deer, wood, iron oxide, gold, and orange, counteracted with cooler options such as aluminum and steel. Bartlett’s undergarments, some almost completely see-through, were another success garnering major applause from onlookers in the stands.

On the accessories front, Bartlett once again collaborated with LD Tuttle for footwear, this time creating a range of tucked and folded platform boots. Orly Genger by Jaclyn Mayer designed the chain and latex belts and wrapped necklaces to mimic umbilical cords, and Brian Crumley created the chunky latex cuffs.
