On 9/6/2014 sidsmom said: I believe she had the foresight to see this day. The clothes, accessories & makeup is quality enough to stand on their own. Of course, David Dangle will be the on-air representation, but I'm curious to see it doesn't eventually (way down the road) morph into another brand.
Maybe, but I can only say that when I watched, I watched to see Joan and if Joan wasn't presenting, I didn't sit and watch David... Nothing against him, but I didn't and I certainly won't now. I didn't even particularly enjoy it when he was there with her. Even if the line continues for the present, I don't see him having the on-air presence that she did to move this line for the long haul. If it morphs into another brand, then my guess is they're going to have to find a really special 'front' woman to be their figurehead.
I have not been watching QVC for THAT long, but I read often about what a fabulous mix Joan and Kathy Levine were. In order to keep this line flourishing on QVC, it might behoove both QVC and the Rivers estate to see if they can lure Kathy back as the on-air vendor for this line... Even if she doesn't want the ongoing on-air role of a host, she did previously hawk her own line of jewelry on QVC and this might be something she would be willing to consider...
On the other hand, I would guess that the remaining Rivers family has all they will ever need. I would guess they might well sell this company unless Melissa Rivers decides she wants to participate in this aspect of her mother's estate, which seems sort of doubtful.
