Italian-born television personality and actress Giuliana Rancic is preparing to add fashion designer to her already extensive resume with the launch of her clothing and accessories line for HSN.
Rancic says her collection will feature up to twelve pieces, including three handbags and a deconstructed leatherette jacket. By using faux leather rather than the real thing, she’s been able to keep the pieces priced at around $50 each.
Those prices are quite attractive to the average shopper on a budget, but I wonder whether they’ll be as appealing to Guiliana Rancic’s dream client, Gwyneth Paltrow. The Oscar winning actress is renowned for her love of luxury labels, but Rancic says that her “great style that’s not fussy” is right in keeping with her HSN accessories and apparel.
Celebrity designed fashion lines are a dime a dozen these days, but I’m feeling more positively about Ranic’s collection than most. After all, her father Eduardo DePandi is a master tailor and the owner of high-end menswear store Bruno Cipriani in North Bethseda, Maryland. Surely some of his fashion flair has rubbed off on his famous daughter!
Giuliana Rancic’s HSN collection is expected to hit the home shopping network in January. Are you looking forward to it?
