Rachel Zoe’s for QVC
What: Get ready to die over stylist Rachel Zoe’s new clothing and accessories line for QVC. Days ahead of the collection’s official debut at Fashion Week, Zoe has published a sneak peak online. The looks, full of faux fur, clutch purses, and mega-sized jewelry, will officially go on sale at QVC.com on September 12th.
What They Say:
“Priced from $32-$130, these pieces are an easy and affordable way to add some bling to your basics this fall.”
What We Say: Is there anyone who doesn’t have a QVC fashion line? Despite our hesitations about Rachel, this collection might be something to check out. She just needs to remember that it’s one thing to dress celebrities like your ultra thin (and we mean that not in a nice way) self and it’s another thing to dress the average American woman.
Isaac Mizrahi Teams Up with QVC
What: Isaac Mizrahi, the over-the-top fashion designer turned reality TV fixture who helped pioneer the discount designer trend with his line for Target, is teaming up with QVC for his latest venture, a cable shopping show called “Isaac Mizrahi Live!” Mizrahi says he plans to sell everything from shoes and handbags to potpourri and cheesecakes (with prices hovering around $80 for shoes and $200 for handbags) on the home shopping show, which is set to debut in December.
What the Wall Street Journal Says:
“With cost-conscious conglomerates increasingly in control, many designers are searching for ways to broaden their sales beyond the high-fashion customer. At the same time the growth of collaborations with mid-American retailers, the rise of cable television, the birth of reality television and the Internet have created a surge of opportunities—opportunities that happen to suit Mr. Mizrahi’s persona.”
What We Say: Home shopping is about to get a lot more fun. With a price point that hovers between his former Target collection and his highbrow line sold at Bergdorf Goodman, Isaac’s new items could very well be products worth splurging on for Christmas.
Elisabeth Hasselbeck Has a “View” on Fashion, Too
What: “The View’s” talkative token republican, Elisabeth Hasselbeck, has officially unveiled her new clothing line for QVC, with pieces ranging from $40 to $80.
What We Say: Well done. While some of us may not agree with Hasselbeck’s political views, we can definitely find common ground via her fashion line, which is targeted towards 40+ fashionistas who want to have style, without looking like a poor woman’s version of Betsey Johnson (whom we love, but, seriously…). Many of her tops are great for the office, with crisp, clean lines. We’re not, however, a fan of the price point ($40 bucks for a shirt you can buy at Target for $25?) and the animal printed tops…but…..overall, this is a great option for those who want to update their style, without heading into hoochie territory.
