HSN to Launch Melissa McCarthy Line

Comedienne to debut apparel collection on home shopping network.

Actress Melissa McCarthy will debut her first-ever fashion line–Melissa McCarthy Seven7–on the live content retailer HSN next week.

McCarthy will make a live appearance on HSN's fashion program, "The List with Colleen Lopez" Aug. 13 from 1-3 p.m. and 9-11 p.m. to unveil the plus-size apparel collection.

The collection is now available for purchase in a special sneak preview on HSN.com and will also launch on McCarthy's website later this month.

HSN will carry both plus and missy sizes of the line, which will feature 26 styles at launch including denim, sweaters, tees, woven blouses and ponte bottoms. McCarthy, who went to school for design before getting into acting, supervised all aspects of the creation of the collection.

"HSN is thrilled to be the launch partner for Melissa's debut into the world of fashion," says Bill Brand, president, HSN. "When we first met Melissa, we were immediately impressed with her passion for design and the clear point of view she had for her line. She will create a unique and engaging shopping experience that our customers are going to love."
