The downside of losing Joy Mangano

Is that we've evidently also lost Iman. I only have a couple of her things but I love them. I never could see the pairing of those two.

I thought I heard someone, might have been a host there, say she may come back to do another line of fashions. Did anyone else hear that?

They were independant I believe, each selling their own lines and designing some items together. They did make a good team though. I wish Iman would come back also, I really liked her line and have many pieces. They were both fun to watch, and those huggable hangers are the bomb!!!

I never thought they were independant. We know that HSN bought out Joy, years ago and when Iman and Joy started partnering, I assumed HSN also bought out Iman. Both lines were dropped at the same time which leads me to believe I was on the right track. Iman hasn't returned and as far as I know, neither HSN nor QVC ever said that Iman would be back. It was rumor someone started and it was repeated. Over the years, I bought hangers and steamers from Joy. That's about it. I bought few Iman pieces over the years. The styles and quality were great but she wasn't one of my "go to" designers so I didn't miss her. Who knows. Either one of them might end up on ShopHQ (i.e. Evine) some day.

I miss Joy & Iman, and their offerings. Wish the Q /HSN would bring them back. Please!

I'm pretty sure Joy brought Iman to HSN. I feel bad for those who liked Iman's items but it doesn't bother me that she is gone. I wasn't a huge fan of her things.

For some reason I seem to think I read something about Iman going to Evine but I cannot remember if it was for sure or speculation.

I was late to Iman but the few things of hers I bought I just loved. I have bought a few pairs of Diane Gillman jeans and liked them well enough but not enough to watch one of her shows. Evine is really where I found the most clothing, shoes and boots

I really like their lines a lot, I think they reallly shine in those areas compared to QVC and HSN.

I always thought they were a very awkward mashup. Two very different people with different product lines. I never bought anything from their collab. I did buy a few very cheap items from Iman's collection. Nothing to write home about, but good quality pieces. Her pants were too long for me (even the petite dragged on the floor).

I could never tolerate Joy Mangano; just to hear her voice from another room would have me in a sprint for the remote. Back in the day I purchased her set of two little steamers, which resulted in steam burn marks on my arm from them spitting up, then one just died with no warning. I had her hangers, but then found them everywhere, even the Clutterfree hangers here are just as good to me.

I was late to Iman, but purchased her jeans after I heard she was no longer going to be on HSN, and I love them!

Good luck to both of them.

I thought they were thrown together in some odd partnership by HSN,

they were 2 independent of each each other vendors up til then.

Maybe Iman was just done after her husband died and the letting of Joy and general swallowing up HSN

that's my take

Where did Joy go? Didn't she have frequent TSV's on HSN? I don't watch that channel but thought that she was a fixture ob HSN?

I miss Iman and Joy too. I would always be in trouble when Iman was on with her clothing line. I can't understand what happened there. Huggable Hangers are the best.

Re: The downside of losing Joy Mangano

SilleeMee — Sat, 31 Aug 2019 18:53:57 GMT

If I had to guess what happened between Joy and HSN it would be about the money...isn't always? Either someone wanted more or someone was offering less. Either way, it didn't work out and the contract ended.

I would bet that Joy Mangano will show up somehere--Evine/ stores ? I have a closet full of her hangers and think there are none that compare in my experience. The only Iman item I purchased was a coat and felt it was a well made garment.

I think I read somewhere that said HSN bought the rights to sell some of her products that fell under the Ingenious Designs label. So she would have to sell a renamed and rebranded product if she sold them some place else under her name. For example, they wouldn't be called 'Huggable Hangers' any longer.

I actually just heard this morning from a host that Iman will be back. She did not have a date as of yet. I am glad. She really did have a good line of clothing.

I know Iman has a line of make-up now, I don't know when she began it. I'd love to see her clothing again, her jeans fit me perfectly.

I bought Iman's makeup years ago and LOVED it before she went to HSN as a clothing designer. Many of her clothing and jewelry items from her Global Chic line now grace my closet, and are well made. Perhaps SHE jumped ship, as I read that the quality of her line was lacking towards the end. It would be wonderful if she woud return and rebrand herself with something new and exciting.

~~~All we need is love💖

Loved Iman’s clothes, but Joy’s products were take or it leave it, except the hangers. I have two leather jackets, mini purses, countless casual tops and blouses, and pants by Iman and they are terrific. I have cleaned up during the purge of her items on clearance. I miss her style. Do you recall that day she brought those 2 pair resort wide leg palazzo pants as a daily special, was an amazing blowout sell out by 1pm. I wish she would come back, not sure I believe the rumor mill.

I didn't know that Joy and Iman went hand-in-hand.
