As a model, reality TV star and globe-trotting countess (for real), LuAnn de Lesseps has been at the forefront of fashion for a long time. It's no wonder, then, that she finally got around to designing her very own fashion line, the Countess Collection.

"I created the Countess Collection (for EvineLive) because I wanted to make a line of clothing for women that I call 'chic made easy,' — and [it's] affordable," de Lesseps tells FNM in the interview above. "It takes you from day to night, you can wear it to many occasions, it travels very well, and it's easy to accessorize," she explains.

Furthermore, de Lesseps (aka Countess LuAnn) shared some of her best fashion advice on accessorizing, using color and making a statement with fun animal prints. ("You can get away with a lot under those animal prints," she stresses.)
