QVC Models Should Have A Voice!

BLING — Mon, 19 Apr 2021 23:31:51 GMT

Someone sugggested on QVC facebook that the models should be mic'd during all fashion shows. This would greatly help us viewers so that we could maybe visualize our size shape length with the models to insure a great fit.

It would also be helpful to have the models freely share their input on the fit, comfort factor and any other comments which may be helpful to us the customers.

I'm hoping that the powers that be read this post and possibly take my suggestion, since this is the suggestion box and incorporate this idea into fashion shows.

Models are models, they are not supposed to have a voice.

It's very difficult to communicate effectively and especially in front of a camera.

What are they supposed to say....the stylist poured me into this size and it's snug around the waist but that's OK because I have this long tunic covering everything and you don't see it.

They didn't have my size and it's really too big on me but they had some safety pins and it's OK now.

and most of all, more talking, we sure don't need more of that. A nod and smile is good enough for me.

Here's something to think about....

Are models going to tell the truth? Are any going to say they don't like something or it's not comfortable. Would QVC use them again?

I agree with the others. Don't need more talking and it's not the models' job to yak it up.

That's all we need , 6 people talking at once. It's bad enough when they have 2 Hosts plus the vendor Rep or Designer all talking at the same time

They would be as truthful as the hosts! @Foxxee

I do NOT want to hear what the models might say.

Too many voices already. Too much silliness already.

SERIOUSLY??? More information?? Omg Q gives a ton of info and then repeats it! The hosts often wear the clothes and make a ton of comments.

Sometimes on HSN, one model is mic'd in a presentation. It's usually cringe-worthy.

Either the model only repeats what the host just said, or the model tries to come up with something brilliant and quote-worthy about the item. That means there's a lot of spinning around their words and they go on & on. They are great at modeling. But if it's not your normal job, coming up with something innovative and interesting to help make a sale is not an easy thing to do on the spot.

It's a good idea in theory. In my opinion, it adds nothing. They will always have to say it's wonderful, perfect, I love it, and it fits true to size.

I agree with the others - models should be seen and not heard.

They've experimented with micing the models in the past and it hasn't been terribly sucessful. IMO it just adds to the confusion.... can you imagine a model yanking while Susan Graver and a host were talking at the same time?

It's more than likely a DIFFERENT PAY GRADE

Just no. I hate to think what it'd be like if another voice was added to the silliness, more useless information, etc. Models aren't going to say anything negative.

I agree. It's already chaotic with vendors and hosts talking over each other especially with the Skyping. And what do we need to hear from the models anyway?

I agree with those who feel it's a bad idea, way too much chit chat already. Plus I don't know if it's still being done but didn't they mic the models for Fashions night in at one time?? I don't usually watch in the evenings but when I did I didn't like it. At least on HSN, if the model is mic'd it is generally just the model and the host on together which brings it down a notch, but I still didn't care for it.

Models have one job and that is to wear the clothes. You never see a model on the runway talking. Rarely does the Q not post the actual garment measurements with the item, and everyone's body is different. You cannot go by what size a model wears and determine that it will fit you the same way. Consumers, unless very young, should know what styles look good on them and what clothing measurements should fit. No model can do that for you.
