Antthony is Really Missed …
Is Antthony okay? I hope that all is well. I have missed him for a while.
Antthony really needs to hire Kenya or Victoria as his Product Representative moving forward. I really believe he needs a polished and professional fashion representative to present his fashions and designs when he is not available to be in the HSN studio. He does not have this level of fashion representation right now when he is not available.
The HSN Hosts always do well, but I would like a point of view from him or a polished professional fashion representative that stands in for him.

Anthony is suing HSN/ QVC for 30 million over several issues sidelining him being one of them. 41 loyal years,one of their top brands,and they treat him like a throw away.
Good for you,Anthony, I support you 100%!
I look forward to you being your own brand on your own terms. I have your designs from 20 years ago that are as stylish now as they were then.
Personally, HSN hit the toilet when they were bought by QVC,. Did u know QVC is going into Bankruptcy right now? I saw good riddance to QVC. Too bad u had to destroy and ruin HSN on the way
Peace.Love. Happiness -
HSN most likely ditched him like they did with Iman and QVC with Isaac Mizrahi and Josie Maran.It’t the Kim Gravel show and the likes of Christie Brinkley,Vivian Fox and Jacklyn Smith channel.Loserville.

I follow him on Facebook. This was posted. It shared he was going to be focusing on selling directly. The second to the last paragraph had what sounded like a shift in focus for the brand.
“Antthony Mark Hankins is an American fashion designer, brand creator, and on-air style icon whose work has helped define modern live-retail fashion for more than three decades. With a 31-year television legacy, Antthony became a household name through his long-running presence on HSN, where his collections reached over 51 million households and built one of the most loyal, engaged followings in the business.
Classically trained, Antthony studied fashion design at the Pratt Institute of Design in New York City and at the prestigious École de la Chambre Syndicale de la Couture Parisienne in Paris, France. He refined his craft through work with iconic design houses including Yves Saint Laurent, Willi Smith, and Adrienne Vittadini—experiences that shaped his signature blend of couture influence and American wearability.
In the early 1990s, Antthony launched his own design studio, Antthony Design Originals, establishing a distinct point of view rooted in glamour, confidence, and impeccable detail. His signature social dresses and elevated separates—crafted in the United States and often featuring European fabrics—became known for sculpted silhouettes, rich embellishment, and an unforgettable sense of occasion.
Antthony’s designs are inspired by the timeless elegance of the 1950s cocktail era, reimagined for the modern woman: sophisticated socialites, busy professionals, and style lovers who want to enter a room with presence. More than clothing, his work is an experience—and his brand is built on something rare: a deep, personal connection with the audience he has served for decades.
After an extraordinary chapter in television retail, Antthony is now focused on the next era of his brand—developing future collections released directly to his clients and followers, with elevated design, limited releases, and renewed creative freedom that reflects his legacy while moving boldly forward.”

No one presents Antthony Designs like Antthony! He presents features that make me want to buy his line!

I’m sorry to hear about his mom. I wish him strength during this time. While his presence is sorely missed, I hope he takes all the time he needs. He is a wonderful human and I admire him very much.

Anthony’s mom passed this week.

Where did you see this news? I see he posted on Halloween as if everything is fine.

Iman broke with Joy years ago. That was mainly the handbags. Personally in my opinion, when Joy got involved, the quality was garbage. I think Iman was very unhappy with that whole setup after awhile. When she came back, she was her own entity once again. It was HER decision to discontinue her clothing line. She “retired” from television shipping and is doing her own thing, supporting Lexi in her endeavors and traveling.

Thank you for sharing the note from Anthony mentioning “I don’t work for free”. About the time he was last on, there were a few posts or stories about “not working for free”. So, I figured it was a contract issue. That is a shame.
When Iman left there was a notification that she was part of Joy Mangano’s world and that because Joy wasn’t re-upped, Iman wasn’t either. I don’t know if that is correct or not. But I sure miss seeing her! And I miss Anthony.
-
Oh please if they give him a fair contract he will be back!HSN your discontinuing the Ima line has not gone unnoticed!
-
Agreed.

Yes, it goes without saying that everyone who watches HSN likes Antthony very much (including me). That being said, contract issues are his personal business and I’m sure he will do what is best for him. It is ridiculous for some people to “demand” that HSN renew his contract. Seriously?
Maybe he does not want or need to be at the network anymore. Whatever he decides to do with his life is his choosing and no one else’s. -
HSN-Why are you playing games with Anthony?Renew his contract! This is a disgrace and I am getting sick of the games…

miss you

I recently purchased several jackets from Antthony’s collection, and they are true statement pieces—every time I wear one, the compliments pour in. His designs are distinctive, elegant, and unlike anything else on HSN. Losing Antthony would be a tremendous loss to HSN’s fashion community and to loyal customers like myself. HSN should do everything in its power to keep him on board. My thoughts and prayers are with Antthony, his mother, and his entire family.

We love having him on! Please visit Antthony’s Facebook page for all of his updates.
