 PetDoc167 PostsJoined 6/21/2008 I'm baffled by what I just heard on "Fashionably Early"! A purse color was "tony gray" and no one knew what that meant! Neither the hosts nor the Travelon vendor (her own product) ever heard of the word "tony"? In the fashion industry? One asked "who Tony was!!" This is my first negative post ever, and I know I'm being petty, but I grew up in a South Louisiana swamp and even I know what tony means! LOL!

It is OK not to know, but I think this points out that these people go on air with no preparation. I think is it rather sad Puppy Lips1354886599.75714 PostsRegistered 11/19/2009 I have never heard the term "tony gray" either. The vendor should have known why her product was called "tony gray" for heaven's sake! Then she could have taught the viewing audience something new. I like it when I actually learn something while watching QVC. Isaac Mizrahi and the other designer -- can't think of his name, the one who teaches at a design school -- I often learn something interesting from them. circles1354921453.21714007 PostsRegistered 5/11/2005N.J.

Same here...would not really associate that adjective with a purse (especiallya Travelon  )

"highbrow gray" that makes no more sense than "tony gray" Crisso1355293497.6171460 PostsRegistered 1/25/2009 Do you know what is worse than vendors not knowing enough about their products? Posters who do not read the previous posts!! The answer was given at post #2 and only a few posts later people were still speculating... It's not like it is a long post. Geez, ladies.

Who knows though? Edit: I think I saw the purse in question. It was listed as toney gray. Looked to me like it was just different tones of gray.  Didn't exactly look aristocratic.

KatCat11355439662.9811634 PostsRegistered 7/21/2011 Never heard the expression. Why say it if you don't know what it is especially on live tv? HappyVal1355503268.543487 PostsRegistered 6/9/2011 Yes, I am familiar with the word, but it is odd that it was used in a description for a purse color, especially since it seems many viewers are NOT familiar with its use. I also agree that IM and GS are great educators and I often learn something about fabrics, garments, construction, etc. when watching them. But that is part of the difference between a designer and a "vendor". Last edited on 12/14/2012
