Katrina should be hosting more fashion during prime time. She's the best QVC has for a professional fashion presentation--why aren't they using her?
I'm so over the sloppy, haphazard hair and makeup that some fashion hosts are showing up with. It almost looks like they're not taking their job seriously--maybe just too busy with their lives and other interests. If you're selling fashion and beauty do it with hosts who exemplify the brand or better.
When you flip to HSN everyone looks great.

Don't know who KS is but I agree the hosts on HSN are more professional both in dress and demeanor.

I like Katrina and wish her show was on during primetime. Don't understand why she is not utilized more.

I enjoy her presentations a lot. She is a professional and exceeds most of the QVC hosts. Just one thing, she pauses too much and says, uhhhh. It's very noticeable to me.

I have seen Katrina a few times during her night hours and she is lovely and does a good job. Doesn’t matter to me when she’s on. I’ve been having sleeping issues for months now and I violate every rule about using tv’s and devices when I wake in the middle of the night.
the real question is whether having a host you like to watch gets you to buy more. I remember when LR was still hosting, I bought more pearls than I needed, but no one has be able to do that since for anything.

With Katrina in their staff, I don't see how they can try to pass off Shawn K as a fashionista.
I agree with @millieshops about LR. I really enjoyed when she was on, even though I did not necessarily like her. I think she had real skill in telling me why the item was a good one for me to buy, how it would look on particular body types, the function behind particular style features. The other hosts just don't have LR's skills.
Katrina is such a pleasure to listen to, and she can style the schlockiest QVC items and look great! But I don't look like her, and I am sure I will look very different in the clothes. Katrina knows fashion, but I don't know if she can style ME. I shop when she is presenting quality items because she can show you what is worthwhile, and the quality of items. But that is not what QVC always has to sell. That Haute Hippie hour, the items were IMO very schlocky. I think she said the brand is now exclusive to QVC. I was trying to find out if they are out of business, but saw nothing about that on my quick search. WWD had a 2017 report that Halston had taken over Haute Hippie management. That's probably how they came to QVC. And now they are probably done.

I wish Katrina was on during the day or primetime. She does a great job and is so professional. I am tired of the primetime silliness on QVC. It really stops me from watching and buying.

I too enjoy Katrina very much. She is always so well groomed and professional no matter what horrible QVC outfit she has on. I can't watch most of the evening fashion shows because of the hosts so therefore less buying.

I like her too because she acts like a mature, professional person and actually has expertise. Maybe these are the hours she wants because she can be herself. Seems like evening shows require teen behavior.
