Things Just Keep Getting Better: Perfect by Carson Kressley to Debut on QVC(R)

WEST CHESTER, Pa., Nov. 20 /PRNewswire/ -- It was only a matter of time before style authority and breakout television star of "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" Carson Kressley added fashion designer to his growing list of credentials. Kressley will launch his new collection of womenswear and menswear, Perfect by Carson Kressley, on QVC on November 29, 2006 at 9 PM ET.

An industry veteran, Kressley is known for his modern and sophisticated approach to fashion, which he has translated into a "classics with a twist" line of separates and accessories. Featuring rich fabrics in fresh hues, the pieces range in price from approximately $29.25 to $197.50.

Perfect by Carson Kressley gives a nod to Kressley's passion for horses, with equestrian-inspired details like horseshoe-shaped zipper pulls on soft sweaters and ribbon trims lining jackets and pants. Colors range from neutrals such as sage green and chocolate brown to brighter hues of palest pink and periwinkle.

"From my work as a stylist with Ralph Lauren and then during the `Queer Eye' years, I realized a lot of people are missing great basics in their wardrobe," said Carson Kressley. "I consider my Perfect collection for QVC to be 'basics with a twist.' They take the panic out of getting dressed in the morning and I love that I will be able to show QVC customers how to make them work in fresh, new ways."

Perfect by Carson Kressley for women includes career staples such as the quintessential navy suit and a tailored print blouse, along with casual wardrobe essentials like a tailored dark denim skirt and polo sweater. In addition, Kressley designed outerwear pieces such as a luxe leather jacket in camel and a trench coat perfect for those in-between days.

For men, Perfect by Carson Kressley focuses on rich outerwear pieces, including bomber jackets, touring coats and vests that pair effortlessly with pullover sweaters.

"Carson's fashion background has made him a style expert people have come to trust," says Annette Repasch, vice president of QVC merchandising. "He has a wonderful eye for detail, which comes across in the collection. I think women will appreciate the versatility of the line and respond to his unmistakable charm."

Carson will host a live chat on QVC.com on November 27, 2006 at 10 PM ET. Perfect by Carson Kressley will be available through QVC beginning November 29 by calling 800.345.1515 or http://www.qvc.com/.
