Tonight, Elisabeth Hasselbeck will debut the line of women's clothing she designed on QVC at 9 PM EST. She previewed some pieces on The View this morning. Our critique, after the jump.
Like a lot of celebrity-designed lines on QVC, Elisabeth's line is affordable, with price points ranging from about $40 - $80. "Affordable" doesn't have to mean "cheap," but in this instance, it does. And I swear on my superficially-aborted fetuses that my opinion on this is in no way swayed by Elisabeth's opinions on anything, although admittedly, it's equally perfunctory.
Anyway, this is Elisabeth's modernized version of a nautical jacket ($59), and two different ways to wear it. She also designed both pairs of pants ($44, $49).
There are lots of animal prints in this line—like this cardigan ($59)—and three-quarter length tops and capri pants, because when she was designing the line, Elisabeth thought of something that Joy often says: "The wrists and ankles are the last to go."
Elisabeth calls this shirt ($39.94), "A little T-shirt with alotta flirt." Of the design, she said, "I thought, 'Heck, let's give it a try.'"
This pinstripe shirt ($48)—perfect for a Concerned Women for America meeting—has a metallic flair.
"I took animal to the next level," Elisabeth said of this sheer blouse ($54.54). She told Joy that "it'll let you survive any hot flash." Seriously, the jokes are writing themselves here.
She called this top ($39.84) the "anchor piece of the collection." Maybe it makes you look heavy, no matter your body type.
Sherri totally wants out of there.
DISCUSSION
Oh, just out of curiosity, but what design school did this woman go to again?
I know you don't need school to become a successful designer, but I'm really fucking sick of talentless women with more money than brains thinking they can be designers. It's a JOB. A REAL JOB. Designers don't just lay about playing with pictures and coloring all day.
Stop "playing" at other jobs. You don't see me putting a lab coat on and saying "Luk guis!!! Im a dokter!!"
Ugh.
