I guess this poster's opinion is what happens when the hosts are required to get too involved with modelling. Wearing a tank and putting on another shirt while the camera temporarily moves away. Possibly Pat has been employed by QVC for a long enough time and is a great host, that maybe she gets to say, okay, I will wear what I am selling, but I want to wear black.  Good for her, if she has that clout.  A lot of people choose to wear black or mostly black, all of the time.  That is a person's choice and who are we to say they can not because it is boring.

 

@PAMELAB   Please know that typing in all CAPS is equivalent to you screaming at us.  I don't think that was your intention, though.

At least 100 times, I've seen black being the first item on a rack and the host deliberately move it to the back replacing it with a brighter color.

 

If the host isn't selling clothes, who cares what color she wears?

Re: HOST WHO WEAR BLACK

[ Edited ]

I do understand where the OP is coming from on her post.  This morning both Pat and Leah wore practically all black, in clothes they were selling on air  Both hosts are known to do this quite a bit.

 

However, it doesn't bother me at all.  When they do get to the item(s) in question, they show it in the other colors, and there is a model there as well.  Yes, if they are going to wear the clothes to model them also, why not pick a color that can show the details? Makes more sense, but again it doesn't bother me. 

 

In the totality of it all, you still get a good enough look at the details from the full presentation.

I remember Lisa Robertson always wearing Black, but not black from head to toe. Pat James Dementri also wears black a lot, but again, not head to toe, so I don't think its a problem.

 

My husband told me I wear way too much black, and I never thought about it, but after surveying my closet and being very conscious of what I was wearing, I did indeed wear a lot of black, so I have made it a point to wear more color, and its fun!!!!!!!

 

I think a lot of people wear black because its supposed to be slimming!

For me it's not what the host wears but it's what they are showing. Sometimes they show stuff that is dark in color that it makes it difficult to see details. Some hosts know not to do that but there are some hosts that don't or it might just be that they don't have a lighter sample on the set, Q2 usually.

 Can say that in particular one Host  or 2 Hosts wears black on a pretty consistent basis .

I say let the models model.  The models can show us the pockets and waist band - front and back  of the garment .We  only need the Hosts to give garment size ranges   by showing a sizing chart ,  provide garment  lengths  and point out other design elements -and let the designer or Reps talk

I know they tend to wear black and/or jeans because they can change tops of different colors.  I have no problems with them wearing black.  Models are there to show other colors a  nd they show each color of pants an overabundance of times.  If I need to view another color, there is always online.

It can be a problem and not just with hosts swathed in black, when they put models in black, you can't really see the garment and when it's a black top over black black pants.  Forget about it.  I noticed that HSN dies that a lot with the larger plus size models on their DG2 shows.

The hosts are hosts not models, customers can see garment details online.

What I don't like is the short video when the item is not presented and the color the model wears in the video is black.  Have no idea what the item really looks like.
