Hosts should not be hosting their own clothing lines

why again · ‎09-01-2022

Hosts should either be hosting or presenting their own line not both, Last night PM style was ridiculous and all over the place. Even putting the models on the spot to say they like everything. If she wants to be a vendor then she should go to another show (or have a hour) where she is hosted by another host. The show becomes all about them and their items which have very limited quanties. I would say the same thing about any other host that with studio park lines. Things sell out but they really don't if you look after the show ends. I feel bad for anyone else that was trying to be an ambassdor for other items than hers last night. And again I would say the same thing regardless who is doing a line. All other brands shows are not run by the designers there is always a host with them to keep things on track and contained

Sorry, but I disagree. I like the hosts designing a few items and don't mind at all them presenting their designs. I wish they had more quantities. I didn't care for all the hosts designs last year, but I did purchase a few of them. Something new, I'm all for it.

Well, I thought the show was really good and bought 3 things. I love Amy's style and can't imagine anyone else presenting her little collection.

Why shouldn't they present the items they designed?

Well, that's an interesting perspective.

Since you neglected to even hint at who you're talking about, it's hard to give you feedback.

Susan Graver is a designer and her presentations are often all over the place. This is nothing new.

I wonder if much of what you thought was "wrong" was merely that person's personality. Whether it's the hosts, designer or vendors they aren't all cookie cutter duplicates of everyone else. They won't all behave or present product the same way.

It's been my experience with QVC presentations that some are good. Some .. not so good.

Is there a conflict of interest when a host sells clothes from their own line?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Gosh, did you forget that QVC is a shopping channel?

I am sure the management made the decision to allow hosts to have their own designs IF it makes the company more money!

I believe the hosts are so excited and so proud that they cannot stop talking about their items--it is just a natural human reaction.

The collections are so small compared to everything else that QVC sells, so it does not take any effort to not watch or shop.

If only the the world was really so simple that the only thing people could complain about is not liking shopping channel selections.

@why again Who died and made you the boss?

Hosts do what their employer, QVC, requires them to do. Like most people they must follow the guideline set in place for them.

@why again The host clothing lines are not owned by the hosts and they are not vendors. Their lines are a collaboration with QVC as far as the OK for the designs but they are not products being sold by outside vendors. For example, Leah, does not own her line. She is not a vendor.

There have been former hosts that leave hosting to become vendors, owning their own companies and selling on QVC.
