Missing model

Sorry if this has been addressed already but where is Kate the model? She was a staple just like Jackie and I just recently noticed I haven't seen her. Maybe I'm way behind on the latest news. Hope she's OK.

Could be that the vendors like Bob Mackie and Dennis Basso that seemed to like having her show their wares are not seen often. She was a kindred spirit on some of those shows. I also hope there is nothing else going on.

I saw her not that long ago, but I don't remember what QVC show it was on. But you are right, she has not been around much. I think that because they are only using one live model at a time, it seems, the models are spread out much thinner. Maybe some of them picked up other work, whatever that might be.

"PuppyLips" has a valid observation. Basso and Mackie were ones that typically had 3 or 4 models showing different outfits with their items. Same for Logo that Kate was on many times. I said jokingly that Kate was the kind of old school model I used to see in Vogue etc. back in the day and could make most anything look good.

I guess another victim of this virus mania.

I think some of the older models who might be vulnerable to the corona virus are not appearing in public venues. I've also missed dark haired Maria and have only seen her in still shots. She's a grandmother.

Kate was on not that long ago. I saw her , I think she was modeling Logo if I am not mistaken. I don't think any of the models are working as much as they used to. They are using only one or two now per fashion show. I agree that Kate is a beauty, for sure.

Robert Lee Morris used to use her because her swan-like neck was good for displaying earrings. I miss her and Aiko.

I have seen dark haired Maria not that long ago, but have missed blondish German Maria. I do think she was older, and guess she is out due for precautionary reasons. Hope all is well.

It would be nice to have these ladies we used to see all the time write blogs in the qvc website to tell us what they are up to because after seeing them for so long, some of us do miss them.

QVC uses a modeling agency that has a website with pictures of models available for booking, and both Marias and Kate are still on the website and presumably available for work, but I could see how pandemic workplace restrictions on the number of people in a studio may be keeping them off air.

Aiko has been doing a lot of fashion shows. I see her a lot of the times I tune on.

@NYCLatinaMe In addition, Aiko has her own business as a makeup artist, so perhaps those client appointments are starting to pick back up.

I also haven't seen Kate in a long time either @FLGranny @StylishLady. Always thought she looked great no matter what she modeled. She has that model look.

QVC appears to be using models for clothing that really don’t look like professional models like they used to use. Maybe it’s the huge push for leisure wear and extended sizing.

Maybe it is just you who thinks they don't look professional.

Re: model Kate

When she wason she always seemed to know how to pose and move with the camera on her and even when she was standing in the background. I went to modeling classes when I was younger and those are things we were taught. Get a good angle and move slowly.

@NYCLatinaMe

I don't think you understood what she meant by "not professional". I think she meant they do not look or walk like the models we think of as runway models. Today's models on the Q look like us IMO. Of course they are professional in their job.

Also, on the topic of this thread, I have seen Kate. I have noticed the Petite models are missing. I know the one petite model was expecting, but where are the others? Perhaps its the pandemic. I miss seeing the fashions on a Short (under 5'2") model.

Kate, the model, is on right now (Monday morning) in the Logo show, hosted by Elise Ivy.

^^^^^

I saw that too. She looked healthy and as usual made some of the outfits look good.
