'With these 78 pieces, you could come up with about 3,000 different looks because you can interchange pieces with each other and stuff from your own closet,' said Scandal costume designer Lyn Paolo in a new promotional video. 'It’s pretty amazing.”
The Limited described the clothing, which will go on sale later this month, as 'sophisticated professional' with a neutral palette, tailored leg trousers and chic feminine blouses.
Ms Washington added: 'Women often feel that they have to be either smart or beautiful, powerful or pretty, either fashion forward or successful, and I think this clothing line says you can be all of those things.

Ms Washington added: 'Women often feel that they have to be either smart or beautiful, powerful or pretty, either fashion forward or successful, and I think this clothing line says you can be all of those things'
'You can be fabulous and fearless. And you don’t have to compromise who you are as a woman to fit somebody’s expectation of what power looks like.'
Last year, Ms Paolo, with Ms Washington's input, curated window displays for Saks Fifth Avenue by dressing its mannequins like Scandal characters. The displays featured clothing by high-end designers such as Giorgio Armani, Calvin Klein, Michael Kors, Donna Karan and Carolina Herrera.
Scandal will return for its fourth season this fall.
