I've seen Alberti selling women's clothes on air before, so what's the difference?

@manny2   The point obviously is that its a non-traditional item for a woman to sell.  A good host can sell anything and a man can sell clothing.  Just look at the amount Isaac sells.

Design and wearability are two different things. A man can’t tell us how a garment fits a woman’s body, or how it feels. Most women wear a bra, and a man can’t tell you how that top will fit, or if you need a different bra for a better look etc.?

So yes, in theory a man can present women’s fashion. In practice not so much.

@manny2 - I'm waiting for a male host to say wear nude colored underwear under these white pants!

@beach-mom    Gary Goben often speaks of arm holes and straps covering bras.   I'm sure if something was transparent, he could suggest nude underwear with no problem.

For me, if I see two males presenting the women's clothes, it makes me feel weird. I don't even know how to explain it but it does. And maybe I AM weird but I prefer there be at least one female showing the clothes. I guess because I feel like she knows more about what we might be self-conscious about or how we might like things to fit. She might know if you should possibly size up or down to get the right fit. She might know more of the little details we are interested in that a regular male host might not think a thing about. I know the designers have to learn this stuff but it's still not the same for me. I am not bothered by a female and a male but if there are two males showing me tops or bathing suits, I'm changing the channel.

Rick is not a designer...but I am sure he  will sell whatever he is asked to sell...it does make more sense to have a female host for clothing though.

My opinion, male designers are perfectly capable to present women's fashions, makes sense.  As far as male hosts presenting women's fashions. I am not a fan.  There is a difference between a host and designer but if you are a host on a shopping channel I suppose you must be able to sell all products.
