[ERICS MUM]

I’ve never been tempted anything designed by RL, apart from some boots but I’ve got wide feet and even going up a size wouldn’t help.

I watch her when she’s on with Jacky K because I think they work well together and are amusing.

I wouldn't buy one either just to find out if it pills, and certainly not this TSV. It reminded me of the fabric we used to call Boiled Wool, flat and matt-looking.
Agree re camouflage, not a good look outside the military. Majority of her range is unexceptional and overpriced in my opinion. Can't comment on the quality as I've never bought anything.

I bought the first pair of jeans she sold - it might even have been the first thing - when she said that everyone was saying how brave she was to do jeans. Course they did. They were sold as the best fit since sliced bread and something she was very fussy about and gone to a lot of trouble over etc etc etc but the calves were skin tight and the thighs ballooned out. I left it too late to send it back but after that she said following on viewer feedback they had altered the fit so she can't have been that involved in quality control because she would have done more research before she let them be pieced together. That was the last thing of hers I bought. My current pair of jeans are from Denim & Co and I'm very happy with them. No way would I buy any more of the RL range after that, let alone pay the prices.

I'd just like to say I've just bought a "faux" leather collarless jacket from Bon Marche £30. Hubby is impressed with it and that's saying something as it's usually "yes if you like it".

I prefer Matalan jeggings to jeans. I can't get jeans high enough to sit on my waist .

In one of the weeks women's mags, an article as to how she's coping with marriage break up. Apparently she's thrown herself into "designing" her latest fashion range for shopping channel QVC ! Well waddayknow. Images of her burning the midnight oil in her state of the art studio furiously drawing away, - I wonder if she gives Posh a call for some "design" tips ? Y'know, two non designers chewing the fat .....

I personally think these so called designers are an insult to those who have studied pattern design. I’ve been sewing as long as I can remember and am probably over critical. Think that RL along with other QVC designers should take part in The Sewing Bee or the M&S one that’s on at the moment. Now that would be interesting😱🤣

The ‘designer’ persona is one they acquire when they need another string to their bow.I rambled on earlier so won’t go on any further except the Ruths of the world are just the name.The folk who have the expertise are doing the real work needed to produce ‘Ruth’s designs’.

Quite so. But all this industry thrives only because of the public's hero-worship of so-called Celebrities. Call me a miserable old git but I have never, nor would I ever, buy something simply because it is endorsed or "designed" by somebody whose claim to fame is appearing on TV or other media.

Me neither. I really don’t get this influencer crap or just buying a brand because it endorsed by a zedlebratey. Unless it a couturier brand I.e Chanel, Dior, etc, then to me it’s free advertising. Apart from my Kipling bags and my Hotter shoes I don’t think I have anything “logged”. Although I think my occasionally used walking frame does have an NHS logo🤣

Yes exactly. But loads of the young 'uns must do because look at all the 'celeb' tie ins with all the clothing and homeware brands. Most of them are nonentities from reality tv crap.

So true. Some people will buy anything, so long as there's a Sleb's name attached to it. What "designer" training and skills do these Sleb people have? They are the equivalent of one of the Beckham kids, who wake up one morning and decide they'll be a "photographer", a "cook" and so on. No real hard graft, no training or establishing credentials - nowt. Just a case of money thrown at it and their name. It's quite sad that they even think this makes them credible, but I suppose as long as people are buying what they've put their name to, they don't care.
