Isabel Toledo to Design for Payless

Now you can get Michelle Obama’s look without breaking the bank! Isabel Toledo, designer of the First Lady’s infamous pale green inaugural suit, has just teamed up with Payless.

She’s reportedly created a brand new and affordable shoe and handbag line for the shoe giant in which she’ll infuse her signature feminine style. She’s incorporating different materials, like patent leather, nylon, rubber, and mesh into the collection, whose items won’t run you over $40!

"I believe that the freedom of wearing and living in high-low fashion is what pure American styling is all about," Toledo said. "I grew up wearing high-end clothes and pairing them with innovative, functional and affordable items to complete a look.”

How Michelle Obama Keeps Her Wardrobe Young and Fresh

"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."

Payless adds, "Isabel is a fashion icon and has been a guiding force in fashion for more than 25 years. Her pieces are truly iconic and have been worn by everybody from first ladies to movie stars; she has been awarded the fashion industry's most prestigious awards, written books and been featured in fashion retrospectives in museums across the globe. We are beyond thrilled by this collaboration and eager to work with Isabel to bring inventive new designs to our shoppers starting this fall."

And we hear this is just one of the many new collaborations Payless has scored with other designers!
