‘Scandal‘ star, Kerry Washington and costume designer Lyn Paolo have joined forces with The Limited to launch a fashion line based on the hit ABC drama.
“By creating a line inspired by the show, we are introducing a collection that embodies the elegance and power of the Scandal aesthetic for real-life gladiators and everyday fashionistas,” Washington (aka Olivia Pope) said in a press release. “The collection is a nod to our devoted fans, to fans of fashion and to women everywhere who are inspired to boldly pursue their passions and look good while doing it.”
“People who love the look of the show can now step into this world in a way that is affordable and accessible because not everybody can afford to have the clothes they see on the show,” she said. Indeed, unlike the hit ABC drama’s designer items that typically include Prada and Dolce & Gabbana, prices for the pieces will start at $49.
“The whole team took great care in creating a collection that reflects Olivia Pope’s unique style. We believe the collection tells a story of confidence and professional sophistication as well as maintaining a strong feminine point of view,” Paolo said in a press release. “I am so excited and hopeful that our Gladiators are as excited about the collection as we are; it has been such tremendous fun and such an honor to design for the amazing characters that Shonda Rhimes has created and now to help make their style accessible to all.”
Gladiators will be able to have the Olivia Pope in late September in The Limited stores nationwide and online.
