On February 24, Richie—who will serve as a mentor on NBC’s Fashion Star reality competition series with Jessica Simpson—will make her QVC debut at 9:00 pm ET to showcase her collection of clothes and handbags.

The live show will take place at the Four Seasons Hotel L.A. in Beverly Hills. Then, in August she’ll return for another hour-long special on the network.

The Nicole Richie Collection by QVC will include items inspired by her own signature boho-chic style, including maxi dresses and blouses. The price point for the pieces runs from $75 to $257.

This is Richie’s third fashion line. Richie launched her accessories line House of Harlow 1950 in 2008 and her womenswear line Winter Kate in 2010.

Meanwhile, Richie’s Fashion Star series will premiere in March on NBC.

Along with Richie, the Elle Macpherson-hosted series will feature Jessica Simpson and John Varvatos as mentors to 14 unknown designers, each competing to win the show’s prize: $6 million worth of orders for clothing lines in H&M, Macy’s and Saks Fifth Avenue.

Fashion Star brings together top undiscovered designers, celebrity mentors and influential retailers in an exciting, new television format that the world has never seen before,” said John Pollak, Electus International’s President. “With this new series, audiences will finally have the opportunity, not only to watch, but to actively participate in building the world’s next major fashion brand.”

The 10-episode unscripted series will premiere on NBC on March 13th.

“The line is cute—it can be worn by teeny-tiny girls but also goes up to size XXXL,” an insider tells Us. “Nicole has a great fashion sense, and she’s very hands-on.”

Richie already has two successful fashion lines, House of Harlow and Winter Kate. In 2009, the mother of two also teamed up with A Pea in the Pod to create a line of maternity clothing. And she’s set to launch her first-ever fragrance in September 2012.

Richie will reportedly launch her new QVC line in February to coincide with the premiere of NBC’s Fashion Star. Richie will serve as a mentor on the reality series that will search for the next big brand in fashion.
