So when I was in Florida recently, my mum urged us to start watching ABC's Scandal, with Kerry Washington. Thankfully, Netflix US has it (the UK site doesn't), so when jet lag took hold, we watched it. And oh boy is it amazing! The first night we started the drama, we watched six episodes, back to back.
The collection will range from $49 to $250 and will include pencil skirts, jackets, big swathed coats, trousers and blouses. Oh and GLOVES. I love Olivia in her gloves, not enough people wear gloves.I do think The Limited is on to something here though. People are watching more series and box sets now than ever before, there are so many amazing ones to choose from, and the lead characters are usually rather fabulous. Since the days of Carrie Bradshaw's wardrobe becoming as important as the four leading ladies (put together by Patricia Field), we've become obsessed with emulating character's wardrobes. It's not necessarily being a 'mad fan', this is more than that. It's show stylists tapping into the psyche of 'real' women, and those women - you watching - taking note of the attention to detail and wanting that lifestyle/home/wardrobe.I'm thinking Christina Hendricks' character Joan Harris in Mad Men - actually women have been dressing like her for years now - and Julianna Margulies' Alicia Florrick in The Good wife. Ooo, what about Rupaul's Drag Race? (too much?)Anyway, the collection goes on sale online and in stores on 23rd September. Be sure to check it out!
