I am not trashing anyone here, only a fashion & I realize everyone has a right to their likes & dislikes. Some vendors clothes are too expensive for what they are & so forth. I just have never seen anything in this line that I would wear & really can't picture anyone I know wearing. Just my opinion & not meaning to be cruel. I will see an item that could be cute, but something, a ruffle or something will be added to it that ruins it - again, my opinion..

I like some Logo, I only have 2 items but both are of good quality and I get compliments on them. I bought them when they were on sale.

When Lori first came to QVC her items were very unique but wearable. Colors were muted, prints were subdued, shapes were new. In the last few years it seems she has drunk the QVC Kool-Aid. Her prints are garrish and too busy. Her colors are the standard QVC offering - black, white, shocking pink and blue. Also some purple and acid yellow/green.

I haven't bought anything from her line in a very long time, while I have quite a lot of her initial items. JMHO

too garish and busy FOR YOU....I find her items sell out quite often, so somebody likes her line! Her prints have 90 diff colors in them, so I would hardly call them standard! Her solid choices go well beyond the classic colors.

It seems to me that other 'designers' have copied her! She created the Kool-Aid then.

I have a couple things from when she first started on Q that have been worn and washed so many times...and have held up beautifully!

It's my Whisper Knits from Linea that have pilled terribly.

@bestday

Disagree and have seen those 'styles' everywhere....and they were not Logo from Q, but other lines from other venues that have the same styles going on. I see them in the catalogs that are still mailed to me.

Starting a thread bashing a style choice kinda is trashing. Logo is a top seller it seems and many MANY on the boards here like it. You are putting down their choices.

I have several dozen LOGO pieces - not counting LOGO pants - which I absolutely love. Fantastic fit for me!

My personal style is nothing like Lori's - but true to her "goes with anything" - I can pair her tops, vests and cardigans with "my" pieces and they look great.

I did not start a bashing of her. I expressed my opinion of the line. Afterall, it is a forum.

You're completely entitled to your legitimately expressed view and opinion.

Some think that any opposing thoughts are trashing and bashing. That's not how a forum works.

They only want to see comments that agree with them. Anything in opposition is frowned upon and condemned.

Oh no I realize that...you did not say anything about HER...I didn't imply that you did!

I am just saying that starting a thread that downgrades a particular style is trashing IMHO.

Your opinions of the line are negative which will offend others.

As another poster said, why not write about the styles you do love.

Let's say I start a thread about QF. It is not my style....and if I went off on the things I don't like about it....I would be insulting all the ladies that DO love it.

How can I start a negative thread about something and NOT call it trashing???

It has NOTHING to do w/ opposing opinions @Johnnyeager You need to give it a rest.

She said she wasn't trashing and IMHO it kinda IS a trash, maybe not of Lori but it definitely is trashing other people's style choices.

So I guess, just be honest about it, LOL

Just start a thread that you don't like the fashions of Logo and not try to camouflage the post!

I think it should be okay for someone to express their opinion (good or bad) about a product w/o others taking offense.

I do not understand the hype of the Logo brand. I live in Los Angeles, Ca. and have yet to see anyone wearing her homely fashions here. I do not want to appear to be a snob, however, her "fashion?" line would only be worn in the midwest, where they don't have too many choices. Also, her prices of the pieces shown on QVC are overpriced!

Re: Lori Goldstein

webbgarner1 — Wed, 11 May 2022 16:02:13 GMT

@bestday I am absolutely shocked that she is still on q. I have never seen one person in my state wear any of her clothing.

Re: Lori Goldstein

Johnnyeager — Wed, 11 May 2022 16:10:10 GMT

Xcel Brands would not have purchased Lori's company several years ago were she not successful at QVC. The purchase price was quite high.

Xcel has a long term agreement with QVC to continue presenting Lori's line and they receive a percentage of sales revenue.

And Lori herself is very handsomely compensated under an employment agreement by Xcel to be chief designer and spokesperson for the brand.

Xcel generates substantial revenue from the QVC agreement.

The numbers do not lie.

I think Lori has some beautiful prints, colors and patterns, which often tempt me. I love her 230 Rayon which is similar to Liquid Knit in feel but is more substantial, less clingy and launders like a dream.

She also sells plenty of junk, stuff I feel sure would shrink or fall apart the first time in the washer. As with any line, one must pick and choose carefully.

spursfan2 — Wed, 11 May 2022 16:32:16 GMT

I used to like this line. I even have a few pieces that I still really like but I agree that in recent times her pieces are garish and loud. I'm not sure if the quality is still there but the pieces I have that were purchased a few years ago still look new.

@bestday

For me - not seeing anyone wearing LOGO is a PLUS+++.

I spent 12 years wearing school uniforms and when I graduated from high school I swore I would never again dress like anyone else.

My "look" has evolved over the years - and is flexible enough to add pieces from different designers and still maintain my signaturel style.

This is a discussion board people. Posters can post what they like or don't like. If you decide to take offense that's on you. @bestday Keep posting

opinion=

"line xyz is not my style, i prefer more classic styles"

bashing=

"line xyz is junk and trashy, nobody i know or see would dress like this"

very easy to see the difference
