Thank you!   I was wondering why he was on tv, but it is as a personality.  Makes sense since some items he seems surprised by.

And a few times doesn't know the correct color names.

You would think a "designer" would know the color names of his/her designs!!!!!

[Kachina624]

In a word, No, he doesn't design the clothing bearing his name.  He has assumed the role of what is called a "talking head", which means all he does is talk.

Monday night he did not even know a piece was his line. Haha

Sorry but I beg to differ.......I have heard Isaac many times when a cardigan was being presented, state "that when he was sketching this design".  So I think there are many of his items, especially his cardigans, he does, in fact, design.

@Luvtoshopathome. We'll have to agree to disagree.  It's all too obvious that Isaac has never seen his clothing until it's rolled onto the set.  He apparently cares so little that he doesn't even peek at it before the show.  He obviously prefers to wing it.

I'm glad this was brought up.  You are right that Isaac is just a salesperson,

or as @Kachina624 mentioned a Talking Head about the clothing line bearing his name.  When I realized this, it was a little disappointing.  A little smoke and mirrors.  But then I asked myself, why does it matter?  If I like something, I guess that's all that matters.  But once again, it just reminds me of the whole true meaning of QVC----sell, sell, sell.

The personalities are just sales people like any salespeople.

I know he didn't "invent" moccasins...............................
