HEARD: Sophie Theallet to The Limited

It seems like there's been a stretch since we've gotten some exciting designer collaboration news and the latest one came as a bit of surprise. The Limited is getting into the mix and working with an amazing designer, Sophie Theallet, to start. Her refined elegance is a bit more buttoned-up than I'm used to wearing, but I'm eager to see what she does for the mall-brand that I haven't been into lately (though it did serve me well during my stirrup phase in the 80s). The designer promises to bring "the luxurious nonchalance of my aesthetic to an affordable price point."
