Flicked channels this morning and spotted Marverine (?Margarine), whatever her name is, doing a fashion hour (Isaac something). Why does so much of Q's fashion look so old-fashioned and 1940's Great-Granny-type? Younger women surely won't want it, and the older ladies today are much more stylish. Lack of natural materials (one of the tops had nylon in it), fussy patterns, really cheap-looking. The floral pattern tops were about £27, and frankly you see almost exactly the same in Primark for about £5. The tops did not seem generously cut, really skimpy-looking, one of the models looked as though she'd been poured into her one, and she was a really slim, trim lady!! Heaven knows what size she was in, but the male guest said "if you want it a bit looser, go up a size", so I think he'd noticed that the hem of the top was in ridges above the model's bottom area. Not a good look.
Then they brought on a patterned cardigan from the range, which Margarine wore herself....quite a pretty background colour blue, but of course all the fussy florals on top of the background colour, and when the camera panned in you could see that one side of the cardigan's front was about 2 inches longer than the other side.
Q really do need some new ranges and designers.....and some natural fabrics. Whenever I flick channels and it's a Q fashion hour, all I seem to see are 1970's Crimplene type fabrics...Anyone remember the one-colour Crimplene coat and dress sets popular in the 1970's? I keep expecting them to come on any day soon.. Come on, Q, it's 2015, not 1945.
