She is understood to be the third person to make the switch.
And two years ago she was said to be furious because Victoria had hired a pal’s nanny.
The designers and their kids are close friends away from work but a source said: “To say there is some top-level professional rivalry is an understatement.
“Both are hugely successful through sheer hard work and talent.
“They respect each other enormously. But in the workplace there is quite a bit of tension.
“Stella feels quite a few of the A-list names she used to dress have deserted her for Victoria.
“And everyone in her office is discussing the fact that Jane is no longer with Stella.

“Jane is a brilliant stylist and technically still freelance so it’s not a case of ditching Stella for Victoria. But it is still a blow obviously.”
“Their rivalry is intense but exciting.
“They hate the unfeminist idea of women being pitched against one another… and prefer to see it as simply a bit of ‘healthy competition’.”
