What does she look like? ...how can you take fashion advice from someone who thinks she looks ok to go on TV looking like that!! The range does nothing for me at all on the hanger even before seeing it being worn!! Investment pieces my eye!!

Ah, Gemma and her inane babbling about investment pieces and being ahead of the trend. Yes, she looked like a bag lady who'd had an accident with some Sun In. She often looks like she was turned loose in the dressing-up box after being given Coke and Skittles.

But she's a fashion stylist, dontchaknow, so it's just us being so very behind the times...

I came here this morning to see if anybody had commented on her. She is the wrong size and shape for that get-up she was wearing, a dreadful sight. It was amusing to listen to her and Jilly describing the pieces and telling us how to wear them lots of words but saying nothing worthwhile. I started to count how many times 'and again' was spouted but I lost the will to live and turned channels.

I didn't see her yesterday, but when I have seen her she looks as if she got dressed in the dark. Nothing about her says fashion to me.....

There's only ever one persons stylist advice you should count on and that's yourself. :mysmilie_14:

Ooh. I'm not too sure I ought to rely on my judgment for anything. For a start, I can't colour match. I'm absolutely hopeless. However, I would never allow anyone from Q to give me advice. I always take a friend with me when I'm clothes shopping and she is brutally honest!

Gemma is a caricature of a stylist. I think she could be the female equivalent of Antthony in terms of appearing on TV in ridiculous get-up.

This just shows that you can get away with wearing anything in London and people accept it as the norm ! Dress like it to the Co-op in my village and you'd get some pretty weird looks. I do think there is a 'London mentality' to fashion that wouldn't go down too well in deepest Suffolk or in a market town in North Yorkshire. It would be a case of "what DOES she look like ?" - whereas in London they wouldn't get a second glance.

Some of these 'stylists' have an inflated view of their own (lack of) style, and probably tell each they "look marvellous, darling", with no-one around to tell them what a plonker they look.

Maybe a bit unfair on us Londoners? :mysmilie_378:

Out for the night dressed up in glad rags, you see many an odd sight anywhere in the country. By and large at other times of the day, the oddities are the exception even in the heart of West End.

I would say, though, that anyone with a desire to dress outrageously is unlikely to give two hoots for what others think about the way they dress... whether in London or in any town around the country... as it normally goes with either a great deal of self-confidence or a desire for others to gawk in the first place.

Well if you can't colour match you're already a stylist because apparently. this year (according to QVC) "not matchey matchey" is bang on trend. Don't put yourself down, if you buy something (not from QVC) it means you like it, if you like it wear it, that's all that matters. :mysmilie_14:
