Designer Randolph Duke has signed an agreement with HSN (Home Shopping Network), the world's most widely distributed television shopping network, to create and sell "The Look by Randolph Duke," an exclusive line of apparel, footwear and accessories to debut on the network in August.

Duke will design and present his new line and appear on the network to help women create their own personal sense of style, season-to-season. "The Look by Randolph Duke" will feature sportswear, knitwear, evening separates, footwear and accessories.

Randolph Duke has achieved worldwide recognition by creating dazzling evening wear for many of America's entertainment luminaries.

"HSN viewers will now have access to an exclusive line of apparel from one of America's hottest and most imaginative designers."

"Designing this line for HSN gives me a chance to reach millions of women and help them develop a sense of empowerment as they adapt these fashions to their personal tastes and seasonal needs," said Randolph Duke.
