As if we needed another reason to adore the drop-dead-gorgeous Kerry Washington, “Gladiators,” everywhere are beyond elated about the Scandal Collection being released by The Limited next week! Washington, costume designer Lyn Paolo, and head of The Limited’s design team, Elliot Staples, spearheaded the project. The 4th season of the Washington D.C. based drama premieres on September 22, coinciding with the much anticipated collection. The creative trio combined to capture the classic and chic design aesthetic which has become synonymous with Olivia Pope’s character. Prices start at $49 and include a gorgeous selection of pants, tops, jackets and outerwear. The line appears to be geared towards everyday people and folks won’t have to break the bank to mimic Kerry’s style. Washington was quoted saying, “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.” Check out the sketches below and let me know if you’re looking forward to the collection. I know I am!
