2014 The Limited Scandal Collection Launch Event

"There are women who can literally afford to dress like Olivia Pope, and I don't know how, because those clothes are very, very, very expensive. There are other people who can't, and there is no reason why only the people who make a certain amount of money should have access to this feminine power in fashion, you know? This line is created so that everybody can find their own inner gladiator. That every woman can be powerful and sexy, brilliant and smart and gorgeous, fashion-forward. You know, it's just there's no limit to who you can be."  

“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,”  

“Narrowing (it) down to only 42 pieces for the initial collection was really hard because we just loved (everything) so much. But it was good to have to form the discipline to do that,” Washington said. “We were literally in three different cities. I was in Los Angeles, [Elliot] was in New York and Lyn was in London. So this is a collaboration that could not have happened decades ago. We were literally FedExing buttons back and forth across the country. We were doing meetings on Skype. We were conference calling. We were really working as a team across the world. It was really fun.”
