…that’s the Home Shopping Channel - home to affordable top designer Lucian Matis, David Dixon and Kendra Francis.
In a press release, Kendra Francis of Franke fame says, “Learning and growing and reaching out to a wider clientele and educating myself on the business, is a welcome and rewarding challenge.” The collection is fashionable, contemporary and styled exclusively for the Shopping Channel. ‘K Kendra Francis’ is made up of 13, all jersey pieces that can be mixed, matched and worked into every woman’s existing wardrobe. The very affordable line includes dresses, tops, pants and jackets ranges in price from $60 – $220 ‘I focused on bold colours, great cut and fit.”
I would love to report that this is sort of a Canadian version of say Viktor and Rolf for Target; but no, unfortunately it’s still the Home Shopping Channel and the clothing, though labeled, is still geared for mostly mature, get up and go gals.
However, if it’s genuine designer you’re after (there’s even a little Brian Bailey and Wayne Clarke), there may be one or two buys.
Hmm, a long random quote from Kendra Francis in a Shopping Channel press release. . . then a mean-spirited dismissal of all 3 collections? That's not exactly enlightening.
This post is not consistent with the fluffy tone of other content so it just seems nasty. Also, because it's so vague, it also sounds like lazy criticism. If you're going to post bitchy reviews, at least prove your point. And at least hold everything to the same standard, whatever that may be.
I didn't think it was nasty.
