Absence of US brand owners

[Grizelda]

QVC might give them a basic amount for hotel accommodation, etc. If they want to stay at Claridges, for example, they would have to pay the excess themselves.

 

[Clothescloth]

Didn’t Tova always stay at one of the top London hotels? I expect it all goes down as ‘business expenses’.

 

[donna255]

Yes, she was the Ritz, I believe.

I'm sure Patrick has said many times he now lives in London, I think with his partner. He should be on more as he's a good watch, however, the Quacker products are now way over priced and I'm not sure they sell as well. I've seen him as a BA on other brands though.

Patrick and Jenny Blackhurst are my favourite fashion guests, with Imogen of Joules a close runner up. They all can describe the fabric(ations !), cut and fit of garments, which is what we need to know.

Julia Roberts has to be the best QVC fashion presenter by a mile, she can comment on the cut and tailoring of garments and often uses dressmakers terms that I remember from when I made my own clothes.

Dennis Basso used to stay either at the Ritz ir Claridges saw him on the documentary, not seen him fo4 a long time, but didn’t care for him!

Can't say I am over keen on Jenny Blackhurst she never stops talking.

Not sure if QVC just stopped selling Butcher Bassio or he being old did not want to come over?

Just received an email to celebrate 10 years of Marla. I wonder how much she made out of it.

Nothing from me!

The UK is a very small-sized market for a North American brand; that probably influences their decision whether or not to appear in person any more or delegate to a bland ambassador.

 

[ohnonotshoppingagain]

I noticed we started to see a decrease in Americans when we had Covid pandemic so that seemed reasonabke, but I fully expected them all to return, since they appear in the US channels.

 

[boffy]

American fashion is cheap and cheerless. We in the UK have better choice elsewhere

I think he's long gone. I didn't care for him either, although I did buy two of his coats which were worth the price.

I agree that Julia is the best fashion presenter. She's had years of experience. Patrick also gives useful information. Imo, Jenny is unreliable in her comments. She often contradicts herself. However, she has a pleasant presentation style. Chatty and friendly. But I don't believe everything she says.

I got an email offering 15% off all Laura Geller products, valid until midnight tonight. It is GELX15.

(Ive got the marble lipsticks coming!)

I looked him up, he married his partner several years back, but I also noticed that he is very much still on the go, so obviously he is just not selling here, but no mention if he is selling outside of USA. He is still on QVC USA,

Always about herself! Or her mother.

 

[ohnonotshoppingagain]

I think Julia is looking well tgese days.

The fall out from pandemic will take a while to recover maybe …

 

[Bunnytown]

I cannot imagine Marla ever turning up. I'm not even sure she isn't computer generated.

 

[Dame Fondacox]

Yes, she was the Ritz, I believe.

She was. Nothing but the best for Tova.
