I'll continue the digression....
Since I worked for The Limited, here is the scoop. Forenza was moved over to Lerner in the late 80s, and could also be purchased by Vict Secret Catalog. OBR was the big house line for "Cut and Sewn" which Limited-Speak for casual. The other big line around the late 80s/ early 90s was Paul et Duffier (aka Paul and Duffer, by the sales associates), which was more of the Career line. Axxess was the Limited's accessory line
Express began in the early 80s and was originally placed to be the Limited's "tweener" line. When they first opened, all of the accessories were neon. At the same time, The Limited also carried Liz Claybourne.
BTW...when I worked for the Limited, we had so many Greeks working there that we joked we were all members of Lambda Tau Delta. One girl even had a letter sweatshirt made.
Now, back to the 80s
