Fewer Fadhions and less Models
HSN hardly has any good fashion vendors anymore. Since the move there are less models, maybe one or two modeling the clothes. I have seen several segments online where there are no models. I hardly buy watch or buy anymore because there are so few choices now.

Do you remember when HSN used to feature clothing that collaborated with a theme from upcoming Movies. All Designers like Heidi Daus ,Victoria Wieck and Anthony used to design products for the featured Movie collaborations. HSN usedto feature Joan Boyce, Iris Appel and a host of others that were fantastic and unique. La Joie , Avec Les Filles and Trish McEnvoy to name a few. This was Pre-Qurate takeover. 4 flex pay was the NORM, this switch to 2 and 3 flex pay is crazy. HSN had better shoe lines featured.Steve Madden created fantastic shoes only available on HSN.Perlier and Korres used to offer beautiful sets for the Holidays. Now it’s just generic merchandise. I like Christie Brinkley, Vivica Fox and Jacqueline Smith when they were on Shop NBC not so great as the end all for HSN.Overall, HSN used to carry better brands and more unique products. They got rid of Iman which is a shame. I still have handbags from Joy/Iman collab years ago. I started with HSN from Day 1 so I remember when they were head to head with QVC. Those days are long gone.

I agree! Every time I turn HSN on, it’s Nina Leonard. Now, I change the channel. It does seem that HSN is now the bargain basement of QVC. Maybe that is what they want. Now, I don’t buy anything useless it’s free shipping. So sad to see how far HSN has fallen.

I agree . The clothes look like they are Purchase at a low end Thrift Store . Most shoes , especially Boots you can Purchase for less at local retail . I use to Purchase most of my Clothing from HSN .
I hope they change the Purchase Folks . I Refuse to wear clothing made for someone 100 years old .

Ladiebiker, I agree. I don’t purchase as much clothes now. I have decided to purchases higher end clothes that is designed and made well,instead of purchasing these sad fashions from HSN. I order 0from a boutique in Montreal Canada that has free shipping and returns and ships too me in Arizona in 2 days. HSN does not give you free shipping and it takes so long to get everything.

I also agree with you ladebiker. I now find that the clothing in most cases are not true to size. That also includes shoes which seem to be made a half size smaller. I thought it was my feet, but other
places the size is fine. I realize more and more that HSN has become the bargain basement. Not like what Filene’s basement store used to offer. The clothing line is not made well. To return in most cases is cost prohibitive.

I totally agree. I think they prefer pushing QVC fashion because it is a higher price point in most instances. Personally, I can’t afford much from them. HSN as my go to. Not any more.
