Q Talk

WATCHED A HALF HOUR AND WAS TOTALLY BORED. OMG! TOO MUCH TALKING.. AND NOT ENOUGH IN PERSON PRESENTATION OF SOME GARMENTS..

I just love Katrina.

As someone who once worked in fashion in NYC, I appreciate her sense of style, trend knowledge, personality and quick wit.  Though her credentials are quite impressive, I find her very humble, charming, and very sensitive to mentioning and applauding the designers and models.

QVC is lucky to have her!

I am watched- and I am not impressed-  I am a long time customer of QVC- and I am not too sure of what their game plan is.  No 24/7 -especially during the holidays- and now this mindless chatter.   You are a shopping channel- she is boring- I don't care that she is an editor from Vogue- don't try to fix what isn't broken-   YAWN- and goodbye night time shopping and QVC

I agree! It's fun looking at QVC items from a different persective. I don't think the monitor behind the guests worked very well, but I'm glad the Q is giving her show a try.

Although Katrina's style is a far distance from mine, if they want to appeal to the young millennials, I think hiring her and giving her this show was a stroke of genius.  She is just what many have said they want....real high fashion.  I'd probably never buy anything from such a show but I find her mildly fascinating and interesting to watch.  We've never had such a person on QVC.  Despite her "high style", I get the feeling she's actually rather down to earth, just consumed by an interest in fashion.

@Kachina624 - True, but I think they should think about another time slot. The millenials I know are working in the middle of the day. They could do the show around 5 -7 p.m. EST, when most of the ones I know are coming home from work, and watching TV while they fix/eat dinner.

Too bad on QVC that time is more often than not goofy food face/talk-with-your-mouth-full time slot or the umpteenth re-airing of the TSV.

i enjoyed the energy of the approach - also the styling was a step more elevated and interesting and fun.  i admit i watched more than i listened - but i hope they continue the show.

I think the strategy wasn’t so much to push those individual items but to encourage the viewer to browse the online offerings. I always considered Judith Ripka to be for an older woman until I saw the ombré hoops last night. That prompted me to scroll through the app checking out the Judith Rioka offerings.

I watched the first show, and for the most part I enjoyed it quite a bit.  For her first named show, Katrina proved she can truly hold her own.  You could tell she did her homework, and stayed true to the new format QVC wants from her.

She had three quest panelists with her during the hour.  Two were QVC vendors, and one was a stylist very popular on social media.   I think she only needs one or two joining her per show, not all three.  I found it a little crowded and didn't really add anything.  Keep the non-QVC guests so we get their perspectives.

I really liked that there were no vendor reps for the items, except  the Dooney guest/rep who showed the new Dooney bucket bag.  This show was different in that it assumed the viewer knows how to wear and style their clothes -- imagine that!

I hope this style of show survives, I really liked it!  QVC needs to either move it to a time with more viewership, or put it on Q2.

@Caaareful Shopper i too thought about its time slot.  then i thought that the more prime time it is the less special the items might be since quantities have to be sold.  this might lead to the watering down of the content with more prosaic items.  maybe Q2 as you suggested at a more friendly time would solve that.
