Isabel Toledo to design shoe/handbag collection for Payless
Designer Isabel Toledo, who created the lemongrass-colored inauguration day ensemble for first lady Michelle Obama, is giving a little love to Payless ShoeSource for a line of cheap-chic shoes and handbags for fall, reports Women’s Wear Daily. Items will average about $40 each.
In a statement, Payless said to expect “a strong shape, fabric and textural focus with a mix of materials such as patent, nylon, rubber and mesh.”
“I believe that the freedom of wearing and living in high-low fashion is what pure American styling is all about,” Toledo said in a press release. “I grew up wearing high-end clothes and pairing them with innovative, functional and affordable items to complete a look.
“For me, fashion is personal and intimate, I love the unexpected, and I am truly excited to join Payless in its continuous mission to democratize fashion. As a fashion designer, I focus on the consumer to create designs that are meaningful, inventive and very functional.
“Shoes must be flattering and wearable, and I am thrilled to collaborate with Payless to create something new and fresh for all women through my new Payless shoe line.”
