WEST CHESTER, Pa., Oct. 21, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- QVC, home to the latest and greatest collections from well-known fashion designers and stylists, will once again join forces with Lifetime^®'s Project Runway All Stars to participate in the fourth season of the popular design competition series. The world's leading video and ecommerce retailer is scheduled to sponsor the famed QVC accessory wall, which designers are able to pull from during each challenge to enhance their designs. There will also be a special QVC challenge for the contestants, and the season's grand-prize winner will have the opportunity to create a collection especially for the retailer.

"We're excited to team up with this popular series for a second year and have the opportunity to once again highlight our impressive offerings while reinforcing QVC as a retail destination for the latest fashions."
