Queer Eye for QVC

My favorite Queer, Carson Kressley, gets on the designing bandwagon to design a series of perfect basics for QVC. I woke up this morning delightfully surprised to see Carson peddling his wares on the home shopping network here in the US, and he was funny as ever.

Normally, I laugh at the way people host and sell items on that channel (think: Home TV Shopping in Manila only a notch better in terms of production). They can border on fake. But I, of course, am charmed and believe in the evolved taste and style of Carson because one, he's gay. And two, he does a perfect job in styling people on Queer Eye for a Straight Guy.

He perfectly describes the button-down stretch long-sleeved shirts he has in his aptly named "Perfect" line as a basic that can be "tjutzed" just right because of the extra long and high collar (just right), and his classic wool-cashmere peacoat as close to "custom-made" because of the raglan sleeves. I felt myself nodding and agreeing at all he said cause they were not bullshit at all.

The peacoat is divinely lined and has a beautiful navy blue ribbon detaiing INSIDE the jacket. How very Paul Smith! Am checking the rest of the collection online now and apparently, the equestrian-inspired collection of perfect basic will be unveiled on QVC for the next few months 2 items at a time. If you've never bought anything on QVC, I think this is a perfectly good time to do so with Carson's items. And as Carson explained, "You save gas, too."
