You know...I am no longer enticed to buy clothing by watching the current models.  I wanted to look like Suzanne, Kate, Anne, Angela...others who could have been on the runway.  JMHO

I enjoyed the models from the old days. Those days are gone, including most of the great fashion designers that were on QVC whose clothes they modeled. Time marches on. That's life. I like the newer models, too.

I hardly recognize some of the models anymore or even the hosts sometimes.   Sadly everything changes eventually.....it was fun while it lasted.

I prefer models that are more diverse and have realistic bodies (like everyday people that are not runway models). I, personally, applaud Q's decision to not exclusively use runway-type models. It's helpful in making purchasing decisions because you can get a better idea of what a garment looks like on "regular " bodies.

I don't "identify" with any host or model.    I make my choice on the web page after reading the details.

I think a model should show off the clothes to make the clothes the most attractive to purchase. I do not think QVC is doing that right now. Most tops that QVC offers are too long on anyone about 5'3" and under. The tops come down to the short models knees. They look like they have no legs. Sometimes the pants drag on the floor and it looks very slovenly. I used to like watching the "fashion" shows whether I was buying or not. Now I rarely turn them on.

good point but some of the stuff they have to wear is put together so poorly that it doesn't entice me to buy

Models are there to show how an item looks on a person, rather than on a hanger.  Never have I been enticed.  But I do wish they showed the backs more often. Did a 360.

Exactly! I am size M-seeing how it looks on a plus size model does not interest me.  They used to have a few regular models & one or 2 plus size so we could see it on different body types

I want to be inspired with a pretty model in a well curated outfit.  Sadly, whomever is choosing the models and their outfits is not helping anyone to imagine looking or aspiring to buy.  The plus size models are rarely in the correct size and look painful. Hosts are squeezing into XS for fantasy sizing. 

I enjoy Katia, Dee, Jackie, Jill, Jamie.   What qvc is doing now is over reach.  It looks like the Sears catalog from long ago and not in a good way.
