Exclusive: Giuliana Rancic Launches Home Line With HSN

Giuliana Rancic is releasing a home collection with the Home Shopping Network, out April 20. The aim is to provide attainable luxury, said the entertainment reporter and television personality. She previously collaborated with HSN, the television network owned by the Qurate Retail Group, for her clothing line G by Giuliana. “They were the very first people we reached out to,” Rancic said of HSN in a phone interview. “They said yes and now the line is out next week.” She created the brand, which she calls August & Leo, with her longtime interior designer and close friend, Lonni Paul. “We’re both born in August,” she said of the name. “And we’re both Leos.” They met eight years ago after Rancic and her husband Bill, the entrepreneur and first candidate hired on “The Apprentice,” needed a decorator for their Los Angeles home in Brentwood. “I just loved her work,” said Rancic. Since meeting, she and Paul have collaborated on seven house projects. August & Leo has been a year and a half in the making. “She’s incredibly talented.
