One of our style icons Queen Latifah, has launched her very own clothing line through HSN. The collection is called none other than "The Queen Collection" and it consists of everything from denim, leggings, and hanbags to hair clips. The line debuted on August 27th.
Queen Latifah says, that her reasons for starting the line, “It is a word we need to bury at this point ... I wanted to make something size two and up,” she said. “The truth is, we all would like to wear the same clothes. We all want to wear beautiful, fly clothes no matter what size you are, and so for me it was important to match with a company that understood and respected that ideal.” She also says, “I felt like larger girls were not respected, even though we are huge consumers,” Queen Latifah said. “I felt the marketplace didn’t respect us in the way it should. I was not going to step out with a clothing line that didn’t respect a fuller-figured woman or a curvaceous woman, and really all women.”
The Queen collection will be priced under $100 for apparel and $170-$300 for leather outerwear and handbags.
