An acronym for “visible panty line,” this California-based brand began with a rebellious concept: a line of fashion underwear to be worn as outerwear. Performance functionality was then added to the mix and it became an activewear label and a champion of slow design, maintaining sustainability by upcycling — utilizing excess fabric to minimize production waste. The line is filled with gorgeous styles and shapes that you’ll want to wear all day after your workout. And if you didn’t love them already, this will put you over the edge: VPL uses the savings from fabric utilization to benefit young women through their Tensho Education Fund.
