What Happened to Fashion At HSN?

Absolutely

Got rid of Designers with talent and replaced lines from defunct ShopNBC that became Evine.No longer have fashion capsules just same old D level celebrities.Your sister station is everything Kim Gravel. Where is Anthony? Why was Iman let go?

I am right in line with the rest of you. I am a mature lady who always dressed stylishly in well fitting clothes, not tent dresses or baggy shapeless clothing that is unflattering. There was a time my entire wardrobe came from HSN. I sew, so my criteria was if it was cheaper on HSN than I could make it myself with the escalating costs of good fabric and notions I would buy it. I too remember Maggie Sweet, Slinky, Carolyn Strauss, Terry Lewis (I still have her mink coat , a beautiful caramel colored leather coat with removable fur collar and several leather jackets and of course the incredible Randolph Duke. Because I sew, I appreciated the attention to detail in his clothing. One of his jean jackets I own had all the princess seams accented with closure hooks, Another had all the seams bound in seam binding to prevent freying. Such attention to detail was unheard of in ready-to-wear. I still have most of these clothes and they remain timeless and beautiful. I don’t even look at fashion any HSN. I always thought QVC clothes were for old ladies, so I never ordered much clothing fom that channel, mostly household items and their prices were always much higher than HSN which was a determining factor. If I hadn’t started card crafting recently, I would be spending very little money with HSN. Now with the transition from Florida to Pennsylvania the crafting seems to be falling off, too. I will be saving tons of money in the future if that is the case. Sadly we may be seeing the end of our best online shopping merchant.

I always liked Maggie Sweet, slinky and Carolyn Strauss. Remember Lacy Afternoon, Brayfair and Cervelle

It’s sad isn’t it….I miss real fashion designers as well. I do love most of Jaclyn Smith’s things, and on occasion I buy a piece here or there from Colleen’s line, mostly her faux leather / mesh jackets. I do wish it was a place of unique and affordable fashions, alas, tis not…..

I accidentally came across this post . Unfortunately I have now thoroughly given up on HSN fashion.

I loved practically any and everything by Terry Lewis. I still have an avocado green leather jacket and silk tops from her line

I used to look forward to Randolph who brought his own professional models for Today’s Specials. No matter what he offered it was top tier. Yes I still have some of his timeless suits

I even appreciated Harvey Bernard and Maggie Sweet.

Disappointed in Iman today as well

I only bought one blouse this season..because I was appalled at most of all the clothing items presented. And what is with every “puffed??? Ridiculous ..and some of the patterns are all over the place. The so called designer..need to get back to the workshop. I love HSN..but not the Clothes..and the same for QVC.

Agree 100%. Nice that some others remember Terry Lewis. Ony recently did I give away the last of her items – they were classics and held up beautifully. I never cared for all of the designers at HSN but then I wouldn’t expect to. Back in the day they had variety, unlike now.

bythesea: I have asked the same questions over and over again. All the great fashions are gone and the products are inferior, expensive and matronly. Even Marla Wynne! Her clothes are too expensive for the quality which to me was the best for a long time. I’ve ordered a couple of items and returned them the same day. I will not spend that money on trash. I now found lots of different boutiques and the service and prices are better. I wish for the old QVC and HSN when I couldn’t wait when Basso, Louie D’Olio, Markie, Randolf ?, Simonton, Terry Lewis\ premiered their line. Gratefully I still have so many of those designers’ items because they were timeless, well made and still look great! The so called designers, to me anyway, keep repeating the same thing: jeans, jean jackets, ugly dresses. Even Guiliana has gone down in fashion choices. Very sad to me and all the other loyal shoppers of these two networks. But it’s their loss.

I like their items but the prices are high and getting to be expensive like QVC. I would have purchased the Today’s Special if a tank was included. I wish these channels would just price things fairly!!

I agree . Iman last TS should be sold at the Goodwill . I wish HSN would go back to the good old days . I mostly order Household Items . My last orders are not up to Par . I saved thousands since the Merger .

I don’t buy much fashion either. It seems the designers use the same fabric. All are stretchy and very thin. Most are either fancy tee shirts or pull up pants.

It seems the past few days have made me agree with you. These designers seem to be totally unaware of who most of us are and why we sometimes cringe at their ‘designs’.

I couldn’t agree with you more. I no longer buy from HSN. There is no need to, when the prices and quality are horrible. There are so many options to choose from now adays that this company has become irrelevant. Sometimes I tune in just for the fun of it, but then I see how they have spiraled downward. Rather sad, however changes happen, and you just must move on.
