Want to look like Scandal’s Olivia Pope? Well, you may just get the opportunity if Lyn Paola has her way. She is the woman behind all of Kerry Washington’s looks including the dazzling white suits and of course all of those diva-licious gowns that Fitz (played by Tony Goldwyn) just loves to remove from Liv’s body.
The Emmy-winning costume designer recently talked to Fashionista.com about dressing Washington and revealed that a clothing line inspired by Olivia Pope may just be in the works for all the real female gladiators.
“We’ve been talking about it. We’ve been talking about how we could create something aspirational for the audience–like, something that Olivia Pope might wear–but not so aspirational that it was out of reach for most of our gladiators. We’re just throwing around ideas with several different people, and getting a sense if we can do it and learning about the parameters. We’re trying to figure out how to do it so that it’s not too out of the price range that most people can afford, and yet somehow create something for people to have a piece of the Olivia Pope look.”
Tell us what you think about an Olivia Pope inspired fashion line. Would you rock a power suit or flowing gown by Liv?
