Plea to Issac

hennypenny — Tue, 07 Jan 2014 21:40:57 GMT

This may have been discussed before. If so, I apologize.

Issac, I find that your models always wearing your sunglasses is off putting.. I find it really distracting. I keep trying to see "the person" modeling your clothes and it is as though you want them to be mannequins instead of models.

I would be less crazed if you were presenting a summer resort line.

I enjoy your line here at the Q and shop often.

I have never figured out why the models wear sunglasses! Why? Linea models do the same.

It doesn't bother me at all. I'm looking at the clothes or bag or whatever is being presented anyway. Don't you wear sunglasses in the winter? With all the snow, I can't go out without them.

Sunglasses are often seen as a fashion accessory -- not just glare protection. They are very "Hollywood", and many people pay quite a sum for expensive sunglasses. I think the designers are going for the glam look when they put models in outfits and wearing sunglasses.

Sun glasses are a very New York look. I don't find them distracting during the presentation, but that's not to say others don't. For all we know Issac is probably working on a glasses line right now.

Neither can I.

I wear sunglasses all year around ... my prescription lenses darken when in bright light or sunlight.

When wearing a particular line of clothing that offers specific pieces or and/or made with 'Lux' fabrics,sunglasses are worn as a fashion accessory to offer a more polished look and a sense of mystery.I absolutely love sunglasses and would never go anywhere without them.Years ago,when I first moved to San Francisco I found a lovely pair of black Ted Lapidus sunglasses in a small boutique for $100.00.That was in 1989 and now you can't find them @ all.My point is that everyone has something that they like that they may spend a little more on if they so desire.I like to look good( like the rest of you ladies :-) ) and I love to put together an outfit that resonates with my fashion sense.Don't get me wrong,there are days when a pair of leggings and a tunic is my outfit for the day...but...even that has to be cohesive in its presentation. Don't bash me ladies,it is only my humble opinion,not an indictment on others whose opinion differs from mine.Happy New Year to you all!

You know, on the face of it, it seems so minor and yet I agree. I see absolutely no reason for the models to so frequently be wearing sunglasses. I know they're trying to establish a certain cache, but it falls flat and just looks silly... really silly.

No bashing and I couldn't function without sunglasses, but that look they're trying to create, well, more times than not, they aren't successful... It's one thing to see someone establishing that look IRL, but with the models, we all know they're models, and while sunglasses might work for the occasional outfit, as a regular routine, well, I think it falls sort of flat. That's all...

My "beef" with the models, especially on the IM shows, is that they often have the jackets draped over their shoulders and not "on" their bodies (meaning sleeves through the arms). I can't see how it fits when they model in that fashion.

I don't know if this is true, but a lot of time designers have their models wear the same accessory to create unity in their runway shows. Sometimes the models all wear a platinum wig, for example.

I think Issac believes his presentations are actually runway shows, given shoulder jackets and sunglasses. This is how he likes to present, Louis also likes the runway approach and frankly given the down slide of the Q in general, I appreciate the look of Issac and Louis 's presentations - It makes me feel less like I'm watching Walmart live.

ITA, winamac1!!! I will not purchase an item if it is just draped on someone's shoulders. Not a good selling tactic for me. I need to see the fit.

Some Q viewers seem to want to know all about the models, criticize them for not smiling or looking friendly enough and now want to see their eyes. A professional model is supposed to show the clothing. It's all about the clothing. Maybe, knowing how distracted some of his viewers are by the models themselves, he's decided sunglasses might help get your focus back on the clothing. Ever see runway models? They always stare straight ahead and are totally expressionless.

Sunglasses or other accessories don't bother me. I've truly never thought about it.

I like the sunglasses does not bother or distract me in the least.
