I guess it doesn't bother me to have a revolving door of models as long as there is a variety of sizes modeling the clothes and they are professional.  I don't find it necessary to have the same models for the same shows. I'm sure like all businesses they need to have a number of employees so there is coverage for all shifts.

I heard at one time that designers were allowed to ask for models they wanted. 

I notice still, there are always too few Petite models. I only see Crystal, Meredith and Taliafia (?). I also notice when modeling tops and bottoms, they are a poor fit, with pants dragging and tops that look long and tunic like making it look like no legs.

Average woman 5'4" and 130 or 140 pounds. We should see a lot of models with those dimensions, not so few. 

I agree, when the models don't look good in the clothes, I just think they will look worse on me. I like models to look good, fit and healthy. Make the clothes look good. When they look good, many will think they might look that good, too.

LDO always did a great job styling his models from head to toe including jewelry.  It was nice to see how you could put different looks together that you may not have thought of. I spent so much money back then, yikes!  And it's not like everything I bought looked fabulous on me, but I sure was inspired to buy!

 

Now so many things look dowdy & unappealing on the model it's not tempting to buy at all. I Honestly, I wouldn't take this stuff if they were giving it away for free, it looks that bad! At least I save a lot of money now!

Just wish they would make it easier to figure out sizing; almost every jacket shown looks too small, the front never comes close to buttoning or touching. Then they say they are wearing an XXS.....so why not the right size? What size should I order? I don't care if they are pretty or any of that...just put the right size on them.

Surely they could use people who at least appear pleasant.


I know exactly who you're talking about.  She was a past model on QVC.  I remember thinking the same thing about her ... she looked miserable.

Dennis must have asked for her, right?

I believe her name is Maria...the dark haired Maria.

One glaring omission that I have noticed is that Katia never models for LOGO.....at least I have never seen her.....but I always figured she didn't want to, not that Lori didn't want her.  But other than that, I see a mixture of the models with different designers.

I don't expect all the models to look like the beautiful Katia.  

 

I don't have an issue with the models except for one time not too long ago when they did a very close up of sandals.  This particular model had dirty, crusty, awful looking feet.  A little lotion would have made a world of difference.  I couldn't believe the Q let her model the sandals.

 

Other than the dirty feet, I'm fine with the models they use.

My issue is I wish they would discuss sizing more.  They mostly seem to say to go with your regular QVC size.  Well I can wear anything from an x small to a large depending on the designer, cut & fabric.  

 

Each item is different that's why they have the charts which is what I tend to go by but it would still be nice if they discussed sizing before they go into all the places you can wear it.  

 

I also wish they would say what size the models are wearing.  It's a hit or miss with that and I find it helpful.
