Maxx Rep Disses QVC Fashion

If you haven't heard already, celebrity stylist, Rachel Zoe (known as a less-flattering nickname to Perez Hilton readers) will be launching her own fashion line on the Q soon.

I thought I was going to do a regular old post announcing the news, when I came across a blog written by Lilliana Vazquez, the vendor rep for Maxx New York handbags on QVC. Apparently she's a total fangirl of Rachel's ... unfortunately, in the process of promoting her fashion idol, she manages to completely dismiss every other fashion accessory designer currently on the Q and make fun of QVC's entire customer base. Classy.

Here's a snippet (emphasis mine):

So as many of you might (or might not) know, my “day job” is going on QVC to represent Maxx New York handbags…and although I really enjoy what I do, I hate the fact that besides our collection, there’s nothing at QVC that I would actually wear…UNTIL NOW…according to FabSugar, Rachel Zoe will be bringing all her gaudy, gold goodness in the form of an accessories line to the Q in October!!!

I hope to that the buyers let her do her “thang” and don’t make her tone it down for their audience. Based on past experiences, QVC has a lot of say in the design of each item so I hope they let Zoe’s genius take the reins on this one. I’m sure they’re goal is to attract a younger, more fashion-forward audience with her and they won’t be successful if they tailor the line to appeal to retiree’s in the mid-west.

Wow! Talk about biting the hand that feeds you. Does she even know about all the designers at QVC? I realize that you have to push through racks of bedazzled ducks to get to the trendy section, but it's there.

Just in her handbag category alone, there's B. Makowsky, Dooney & Bourke, Kathy Van Zeeland, Tignanello, Vera Bradley ... the list goes on and on (as one host is apt to say) ... are they all beneath her? If I like them does that make me an old, fashion-backward, mid-western retiree?

Everyone Has Something to Confess

The hit TNT series, "The Closer," has a new breakout star. No, not Kyra Sedgwick!

Actually, it's her purse. Well, the purse her character, savvy Southern Belle interrogator, Brenda Leigh Johnson, carries on the show.

The trademark black bag was a one-of-a-kind, but now a version of the Maxx New York purse will be sold on QVC.


"The Closer" Tote Bag (#A84730) will be unveiled on QVC on Tuesday, July 8, and is scheduled to be offered Monday, July 21, at 8 p.m. during QVC’s Fall Fashion Designer Gallery.

The Closer returns for its fourth season on Monday, July 14 at 9 p.m.

Queen Bea's confession? The purse seems nice enough, but I don't get what all the fuss is about!
