H by Halston

I'm watching Halston on Netflix. So good. Decided to check on H at the Q. Has the line totally moved to HSN? Wonder why? I thought Cameron did well on the Q. Just curious. I have several pieces that I like a lot. TY

Here's what I see. QVC has 63 items. Nothing new has been coming in on QVC for some time. HSN has 18 winter items. Nothing new for Spring, Summer.

He was on Katrina Szish List a week or two ago.

Has a new curly hairdo.

That's all I know.

@Macadoo - Katrina Szish is a QVC host. She was a fashion editor for a lot of years and has a lot of connections. She hosts "The Szish List" late at night (or early, early morning depending on where you live). She always has a panel of experts on who comment on the items. I notice other QVC shows are starting to copy that format. I enjoy her show and I learn a lot about fashion!

@Macadoo I liked H by Halston too. Looks like QVC discontinued the line. It was a shame to see it go. I don't know that the QVC line is the same as the HSN line, the Halston brand is usually sold as a license, so the manufacturers can be anyone. I believe there are other lines with that name. Cameron was not the line's designer, I believe he is a stylist, and he represented the line on air in QVC. Now he appears on QVC occasionally to comment on items shown on a QVC show called the Szish List. I am guessing he does other things too.

@Macadoo

No, it's not a joke.

Katrina is a QVC host who hosts a program at 1:00 am every Friday called Katrina Szish List.

I didn’t buy any Halston until recent clearance - pants. Bought one pair and like them so much I went back and bought 2 more!

I assumed Q now owns many of the clothing lines shown. I think Halston stood alone and the profit line was less than what Q recieved form those other lines.

I own many Halston idems from tops to sweaters and a few accessories.

@Macadoo H by Halston on QVC is gone. What they have left in inventory is still online and occasionally on air to basically get rid of it.

H Halston, a different branch of the brand, is now on air on HSN -- it's not the same line. Same parent company, different design focus and strategy.

Cameron appears on Katrina Szish's The Szish List as a style expert. Katrina has style experts and guest designers on her weekly show to discuss all of the show's items.

Cameron right now has Pop-Up stores in different states around the country. For the month of May his Pop-Up store is in a Maui hotel/resort. He sells things from his Decades store there, plus other designers he collaborates with.

The designer Halston sold his name back in the 80's. There have been several branches of the Halston brand, all existing as separate entities.

Xcel Brands owns H by Halston and H Halston. Xcel Brands also owns the Isaac Mizrahi brand, LOGO by Lori Goldstein, Judith Ripka, C. Wonder, and others.

I never could understand why brands like this still have their appeal to buyers. Just like Joan Rivers and Jeanne Bice fashions, where all of them (the original designers) are dead. Loyalty must run deep.

@SilleeMee I think what's sad is when a brand could have evolved with it's original namesake/owner so it could evolve with fashion styles, But now it's stuck trying to be the same brand of decades ago.

Denim & Co. can grow by introducing D&C Naturals, and D&C Beach, while still keeping it's steady/old items it's had for decades.

I would not be surprised at all if Quacker Factory and Joan Rivers don't survive another 5 years. They are trying to keep up with fashion styles little by little though. QF has more "Quiet Quacker" designs, and they introduced a couple of shorter length (non-tunic) tops. Joan Rivers is doing more contemporary jewelry (I love their newer hoop earrings), and less of the Starlight necklaces and the bee pins. Even the JR boyfriend shirts are making way for more tailored denim and and a couple of newer styles. But too little too late???

If they move too far too fast, shoppers scream that "Joan would never design that!!" or "Angel has run QF into the ground, poor Jeanne!!"

A favorite qvc top of mine is a plain black rayon/span by Halston which is perfectly comfortable and an excellent backdrop for jewelry.

I watched "Halston" and it was gripping and terribly sad.

@SilleeMee My purchase of Halston fashions in QVC has nothing to do with the brand name. I don't think the QVC clothes look anything like the glamorous Halston fashions I remember from my childhood. I don't buy brands. If I did, I probably wouldn't shop here. QVC is not a great name. I bought Halston based on a presentation by Cameron on how the garment was constructed. The materials and designs were nice enough for work and appealed to me. I looked up the measurements and the garments looked like they would fit me well. They did. I don't think I was disappointed once. I bought many items. I thought the quality was good, and the materials held up their good appearance throughout long work days.

I only began ordering a few Halston items as the brand was on the way out the door and I bought everything on sale.

I bought either 3 or 4 knit t-shirt type tops and I love them all and wear them constantly. I wish I could get more.

Sorry to see H by Halston go. I own about a dozen of their tops & love them . I don't care for the Halston stuff sold on HSN.
