Hope’s clothing line is back up and running on The Bold and the Beautiful. With a new vision and a new designer, the Hope for the Future line is deemed to be a success. However, fans are skeptical after what they’ve seen so far.
Key Takeaways
- Hope’s clothing line was recently reinstated by Ridge.
- Hope hired her brother Deke to design for her.
- Deke’s designs are being met with mixed reactions from fans.
- The designs will determine if the Hope for the Future line is a success.
New Designs Offer Little Hope
Hope for the Future is Hope’s (Annika Noelle) pride and joy. The clothing line was Hope’s vision to inspire young women who shared her same values. Throughout the years, the line has experienced many ups and downs.
Last year, Hope’s collection was cut by Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood), which resulted in Hope and Carter’s (Lawrence Saint-Victor) coup. While Hope and Carter’s rise to power didn’t last long, Hope did regain her job and her line.
Now that Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) has reinstated the Hope for the Future line, Hope is ready to get down to business. She hired her talented brother Deke (Harrison Cone) to design for the collection. While Hope and Deke are excited about the new clothes, viewers feel the opposite.
From what they’ve seen of Deke’s sketches, B&B fans on Reddit don’t see much hope for the line. “The ‘fashion’ for Hope’s new line is bad. Those embellished suspenders last week had me giving the TV a side eye,” wrote one viewer.
“Them: New! Astonishing! Original! Groundbreaking! Innovative! Never before seen or even imagined! Me: I think I wore that to a 9th-grade dance once,” one commenter replied. “Isn’t her line supposed to target younger customers?” asked one user.
While most fans weren’t impressed, some believed it had potential. “I could definitely see that on a runway,” one viewer wrote about Deke’s designs.
Make or Break Time
While Forrester Creations is pleased with Deke’s designs for Hope for the Future, it’s customers who’ll determine its success. Deke and Hope will have to showcase their collection at an upcoming fashion, and after that it’s game on.
As fans recall, last year, there was speculation about Hope for the Future’s declining sales numbers. Forrester Creations had to dip into the couture line’s fund to keep Hope’s line.
Will Deke’s designs help rebuild the Hope for the Future line? Or will the latest collection be a disaster and end Deke’s fashion career before it begins?
