Designing Michelle Obama's inauguration outfit last year gave designer Isabel Toledo a boost, and now American women of all income brackets can afford her wares: she's designing a line for Payless [subscription required]. Toledo's shoes and handbags will retail for less than $40 and will hit stores in September. The critical favorite designer will join Christian Siriano, Alice + Olivia, and Lela Rose in creating inexpensive (and, in many cases, vegan-friendly) shoes for the mass shoe chain.And this is not quite masstige, but it's welcome news: Remember Paper Denim & Cloth? It was one of the original premium denim brands, but as the market got increasingly crowded with the Sevens, Citizens of Humanity, and J Brands of recent years, it lost traction and faded from stores. Denimology reports the label has relaunched exclusively at National Jean Company and--the best part--every pair retails for a mere $100.
