Queen Latifah is already a successful actress, singer and a CoverGirl, and now the multi-talented star is adding designer to her resumé with a new clothing line for HSN. The Queen Collection, launching this August, includes clothing and accessories designed for every woman in sizes 2-24. "I'm so excited about it," Latifah tells PEOPLE. "This is something I have wanted to do for a very long time. I've been offered a lot of deals for clothing lines and actually started one that didn't quite get off the ground but this is like a full circle moment for me." Queen Latifah, née Dana Owens, explains, "This is a young 14-year old, 17-year old and 22-year old Dana trying to go shopping and actually finding the things she wants to wear or going on HSN and ordering the clothes she likes because they're there and they are in her size. This has been a bit of a journey and it's a really exciting venture." She singles out the chic, leather handbags she created as a favorite from the collection — for personal reasons. "I have a bag fetish," she confesses. "I'll have on sweatpants and a $3000 purse. I don't deny myself, bags are the one thing I'll allow myself to splurge on." And she's banking on fans of the collection to feel the same about her designs. "I think the bag line is going to be really good. It's versatile so it's not going to look like the same bag from one collection to the next. There's something for everyone." Especially those who want to look like a queen. "I definitely want to be able to rock my bag. I figured, if I can rock it, why shouldn't other people be able to?" The Queen Collection, including outerwear, will be available on HSN and HSN.com beginning August 27.
