Modern Soul?

ncmom — Mon, 24 Mar 2025 16:26:40 GMT

In the program guide I noticed an upcoming show featuring Modern Soul clothing. I think I remember that brand from many years ago; Linda Davies was the wonderful brand ambassador. Does anyone else remember the brand? There are about ten “new” items from the line when I searched the Q site.

@ncmom I absolutely do! They had some interesting pieces. I may still have one in my closet!

Edited to add... I just took a look. The pieces currently shown are nothing like what I remembered the line to be. The new pieces look so blah, IMO.

IIRC that will be the 3rd time around for that brand

they must still own the name/trademark

To me Modern Soul is similar to Nina Leonard, both knit clothing styles, which was on the Q many years ago before it went to Hsn after Lenny Feinberg passed away.

@ncmom @Yes, I remember Modern Soul. I really liked the line and always loved Linda Davies as the vendor. I looked at the new items though and noticed that all the tops seem to have built in bras. They call it their support system.

That wouldn't work for me. I had a mastectomy and breast reconstruction years ago and have "issues" to work around. I imagine many people would like it though. I'm always glad to see some new offerings.

They used to have some very nice knitwear.

I remember buying that brand over 20 years ago. It no longer fits my lifestyle

Modern Soul was back on QVC a few years ago, went away, and now it's back again. I believe it is the name only that's back. Kind of like the same thing as Sport Savvy.

I remember that brand from years ago. I still have a couple of tops I had purchased. Looks like it has become athleisure wear now. They used to have a little dressier clothing, I am so over inundated with sweatpants.

@Bookplate @SilleeMee Yes, now I remember. They were primarily a knitwear brand. That is why I liked the line so much. Because I'm small on top I need a bit thicker material for tops to give me some presence and oomph and avoid looking scrawny. Lol.

why again — Mon, 24 Mar 2025 19:18:48 GMT

Just watched the first 2 items, they going to be lounge wear (great we dont have enought of that) and the first item was a top it was too short for most, it is actually a cardigan 23-3/4" to 25-5/8"; plus length 26" to 27-3/4. make make somme petites happy and the matching pants only have one inseam of 29. This would make some average size people happy i guess, but I doubt it would work for most people if they want a matching set. . I am regular on top and petite on th bottom, so the top is really short and the pants are too long and I hate pants that drag on the floor, even loungewear. Matching T shirt only slightly longer than cardigan (doen't make sense) it has a built in support system

I bought my mom some Chenille cardigans for Christmas a few years ago when the line came back again.

Looked up the video on YouTube, it was 2021.

The on air guest at that time was Carolann Wileczek.

I wonder why the Q just keeps regurgitating these same clothing lines out?

They show up, they leave, they come back, they disappear again.

They all look the same.

Anybody, Modern Soul, Sports Savvy, Zuda (now gone?)

Then you have the national brands of Muk Luks and Cuddl Duds.

They are all basically the same - cardigans, t-shirts, basic lounge/sweatpants, PJs, etc.

Why not just stick them all under the Denim and Company line and call it a day?

Think of the money QVC would save on clothing tags alone.

Thanks for the throwback photo; I liked Carolann. She was a good brand ambassador and also worked with Linda Davies on Liz Claiborne shows. I looked at the items from today’s Modern Soul show. Very underwhelming; they look like the same items we’d get from many other clothing lines. Disappointed that they weren’t similar to the “old” Modern Soul line.

I just bought a pair of Modern Soul pants last year; it seems like there have been a few pieces kicking around the website for awhile, but nothing really interesting.

@ncmom - If you're interested in "catching up" with Carolann, she is now the brand ambassador for American West Jewelry. If you search for the newer products on the website, I'm sure you'll find videos of her recent appearances/presentations.

@I am still oxox how did your home renovation turn out? i remember u were staying in a hotel while the construction was being done...when were u able to move back?

Wasn't the original Modern Soul have a line of interesting looking jackets/blazers? I remember one the lines had nice looking clothing - more office-y type. But the jackets/blazers were a little "hippie" looking.

Or am I lost in the woods??
