All I See From Joan River's Collection is:

All David brings from the Joan Rivers' collection are big shirts. I don't remember seeing much else.

I have a lot of those big shirts, but come on...enough!

I agree. It occurred to me that perhaps David is doing the designing and maybe all he knows are men's shirts. Even the fabrics are unimaginative. They've been selling the same old jewelry since before Joan died.

They need a REAL designer and soon.

@Annabellethecat66, @Kachina624 ~ I agree as well. There are many clothing lines on the Q that need fresh, and new when it comes to styles.

My opinion - David is no designer - Joan had one home run with that big shirt and now David is milking it - milking it and milking it. He was Joan's 'front guy' and now he just has to keep Melissa happy $$$$$

Yep.

Joan Rivers "Fashion" = Big Shirt

Lisa Rinna "Fashion" = Cargo pants

Isaac Mizrahi "Fashion" = Pima Cotton, Peplum

Denim & Co "Fashion" = Stretch Lace applique, elastic waist

LoGo "Fashion" = Just say no.

Yawn. Q needs a refresher ASAP.

I just sent to my daughter the off the shoulder sweater he had on there. She looks amazing in things that are off the shoulder. She keeps telling me not to send her so many QVC things (she uses a different word) Ha!

I don't usually send clothes just things. A lot of them she uses but some, she doesn't. She sends them back.

I was asked if I wanted to talk on the air (I usually do automatic ordering, but since I was sending this to her, I had to talk to the QVC ordering lady.

I always say, "No thanks" but this time I said, "OK". It rang and rang many times but then I got a dial tone, I guess they opted not to talk. That works too.

OMGosh. I love that off the shoulder cowl sweater in pink. I walked into the room earlier and missed the entire presentation, but I'll go back and take a look. Beautiful sweater, perfect length, etc.

@Annabellethecat66. Joan used to have beautiful jackets and blazers. I miss that.

Big shirts are one thing -- I can see most women having one, maybe two in their closet -- but those huge pockets up front? Reminds me of the painter's smock my kindergarten teacher used to wear and it really ruins the look IMO. I can't imagine that women have use for those pockets rather than using pants pockets, or a crossbody or wristlet for whatever they need to carry.

Isn't that the truth!

I think the line stays on the air for nostalgia sake....still in shock how JR passed just so horrible. But maybe it's time to get rid of the line. Melissa certainly doesn't need the money...not sure of David's financial assets.

@loveschocolate Yes, I have several of them. Some of my favorites are the boucle (phew! that's a hard word) jackets she had in her line. I must have 4 or so of those alone. They're lined and just beautifully made. The thing I liked about them was I didn't have to roll up the sleeves as they were the right length.

Everything I get from QVC has to be adjusted because the sleeves are way too long. I have normal length arms but the stuff is too long. Her's always fit perfectly.

I remember, she talked about how they looked like Chanel jackets. I'm 5'4 and they just work on me. I haven't worked in now, 44 years but when I go out I look like I'm going to work (dress nicely) and it's always a pleasure to wear her pieces.

I read some of @David_Dangle's blogs and learned not only is he an experienced designer he's a 3 time Emmy winning designer. Some interesting pix at these blogs as well.

😊

I don't know if David Dangle has anything to do with what QVC carries. The buyers are the ones that place the orders and tell the designers what they want.

It seems like a lot of big shirts...

I have one of the boucle jackets that I got after Joan died. It's nice.

The big shirts aren't for me, I'm sure they work for and look great on others. Maybe Q is more focused on casual items in general, because lifestyles are more casual. It seems that way, I don't watch much.
