This is the thing when you name the company for yourself. If you sell, then you sell your name as in Bobbie Brown and Jo Malone, both Estée Lauder owned. So Jo had to call her range Jo Loves when she relaunched. The same happens when a company goes under and assessors come in to sort out you have sold your name.

I think the stuff he flogs is tacky tat. Now, if you like his stuff, more power to you. I wonder where it's all made? Wouldn't surprise me if it's all from the same factory Amanda Holden gets all her stuff from. Not sure what his father working in a washing machine factory has got to do with anything.

'Julien Loves'? Probably not. I can't think he did as well at QVC as they had hoped. Maybe it's time for him to retire and go live large in Majorca. But some people never want to stop and maybe that's what made him famous in the first place.... determination.

It must mean that he didn't follow in his father's footsteps and that he was not born into wealth. I agree about the cheesy QVC designs. Maybe his red carpet clothes were sophisticated and knock out fabulous.

I think the red carpet stuff must cut the mustard. I must admit whenever I see red carpet pix and they say dress by JM I am always shocked and immediately think of the tat sold on Q! I think that line of stuff diminished his brand because, although there might have been some items which were nice, there were an awful lot of expensive duds.

I love the QVC 30th birthday trailer starring Juilen as buttons in one of his creations no doubt!

I cant help it but I keep being drawn to his floral jacket code 197737. Its bold, bright, vibrant (garish) polyester but I want it. Just keep hoping my size sells out before I cave in. I need help

 

[misiuszka]

I love it - go for it!

it looks gorgous

 

[ArticMule]

I caved in! Jacket ordered. You are all naughty enablers lol. If it doesnt go with my red Vivianne hush puppies, frayed jeans and plain cami I can send it back (maybe I should do a Quiro video of it umm no)

I saw Jill Franks on air the other night in the 'Sparkle and Shine' fashion hour. She was wearing black leggings (pretty much as usual), a sequined biker style jacket (Danni Minogue??) and a pair of low heeled suede boots that looked to be exactly like the ones I have seen JM wearing. In fact, if you had replaced Jill's head with Julien's you wouldn't have noticed the difference. It was quite remarkable; they are the same shape and build!!

I have yet to see anything on his hours that I would want, it looks tatty to me

 

[Brissles]

When top designers start flogging on a shopping channel you know the end is not far away. Yes, the fashion is tat, but have you seen the stuff in Freemans club book ????

 

[Clothescloth]

Did I see an article the other day saying his company was in debt ( big debt by the sound of it) and owes its debtors hundreds of thousands?

“Julien Macdonald's company hit trouble during the pandemic and officially went into liquidation on 26 July.”

Sad news for all concerned. Most of his clothes are now in clearance on QVC.

 

[donna255]

Yes, I saw that article, workers not paid.
