Kim new collection

[Bea Frugal]

Just watching some of the 11.00am show and I think Kim has really lost the plot. The clothes are dire, so frumpy and unappealing and not cheap. The guest is working her socks off but I’d say that if you happen to like something it’s worth waiting for clearance - shouldn’t be long.

I’ve noticed that her designs are pretty boring. It’s almost like she’s not designing them herself

There used to be an abundance of American fashion years ago - much of which I bought. I still have Dreamkeeper tasselled ponchos, and who remembers the German Harald ? Ive still got a Chanel style suit of his. With a rare British firm- (the long blonde hair lady that did sequinned knits (?) ) . Now it's a lot of "cheap" firms like Apricot on air.

Since Covid its all gone downhill, and I wonder who the target audience is for Kim now. She would air every month with lots of new stuff including some great summer dresses - now it's stuff even a charity would be hard pushed to sell.

I've just had a quick look and most of the stuff has gone back to our first impressions of shopping channel clothes - shapeless, dull swathes of polyester, it's like she's given up! The prices are absolutely crazy. If I wanted to look like a 1990's frump I'd take a look around the charity shops and save myself a fortune!

Watched it last night Jenny and Katherine were getting on my nerves going on about their private lives had to switch off.

Kim used to do lovely dresses, some of which I still have. Nowadays it is expensive plain colour poly garments or hideous prints. Years since I bought anything and I used to buy a lot.

Trouble is, she has too much competition out there and she's expensive. It's not a premium brand so there's no need to pay so much.

 

[Cashers]

I don't mind alot of Kim's stuff. I liked the Cardie thing with the slim leg trousers but at £100 for polyester it's a joke. There's no way I'd pay that for what is an everyday ordinary outfit. I really dislike alot of her patterned stuff.

Way way back I bought a couple Kim&Co items & generally liked the colours and prints.Now I don’t even look, the colours are either drab or gaudy and the prints? Well least said.

I haven’t seen Kim’s new collection. Is it a little bit quirky but not too loud?

Never been tempted by her range! Always been expensive.

It is but I think you’re paying for the fact that isn’t made in Bangladesh, Pakistan or China. Some of her sleeveless printed jumpsuits with the “knot” were nice especially for me as I need petite. I do buy her wide legged and straight trousers because I got fed up of slobbing round the house in jogging bottoms. They’re ideal, they fit properly and they move with you. But pricey I admit but at least I feel dressed and not embarrassed to answer the door. So many brands have disappeared without trace - on one day, gone the next and never an explanation

She has turned frumpy with lot of her clothes lately

Like her wellness trousers but hate that the sizes in her clothes seem to differ especially the waist on trousers. If i went by the waist sizes on trousers none would fit. See example below. Kim and Co trousers

 

[Stockton]

• Waist: XS: 63.5cm (25"), S: 68.6cm (27"), M: 73.7cm (29"), L: 78.7cm (31"), XL: 83.8cm (33"), 2XL: 91.4cm (36"), 3XL: 99.1cm (39").

Another pair

• Waist: XS: 55.9cm (22"), S: 61cm (24"), M: 66cm (26"), L: 71.1cm (28"), XL: 76.2cm (30"), 2XL: 83.8cm (33"), 3XL: 91.4cm (36")

Presenters could give more detailed information by stating the relaxed waist measurement and the extended waist measurement on a couple of different sizes. We are sometimes told what the relaxed measurement is, but never the extended.
I would also like to know the bottom hem width on trousers, rather than the generic "slim" or "wide" etc. Applies to all ranges, not only K&Co.

I can't see anything 'quirky' in Kimmy's line of clothing. Some of her prints are quite loud and also some of the colours - vivid green, for example. Mostly, the styles are bland and non-committal. For what they are, I think she's over charging.

Her prints well my nan would not wear them. Loud and ugly

I wonder what's going on within the fashion world. The prints across the board with lots of fashion ranges including High St and supermaket collections, are awful, drab sludgy khaki aren't good for being cheered up (not good for "wellness" as the latest buzz word says). Even Kipling gets slated for their uninspiring prints.

I normally buy Sale items from Sahara but I wouldn't leave the house in their recent stuff. Who wants dark and drab ?
