I have loved Betsy Johnson since the 1960's when I could create her 'look' with Betsy Johnson sewing patterns, sexy cute, hippie inspired flowing fabrics .... just darling detail. I was a hippie girl, liked looking cute and adored her and her fresh explosive talent.
Following are a couple pictures from one of her homes, some people love the design, some don't. But, it is Betsy. It is pink ....... cool, retro and pink.

Below are just a couple photos of some of her fashion designs, just in case you're not familiar with her. I've enjoyed her as my first fashion icon and have enjoyed that my daughter loves her too.As one journalist recently quoted, “If Betsey Johnson didn’t exist, we would have to invent her, simply to remind ourselves that fashion can be fun. She’s the original wild child and set to paint the town pink!”
Betsy Johnson Bio:
Betsy Johnson Official Store (Over 50 Stores) - New York designer Betsey Johnson has built her long-standing career in fashion by following her own set of rules. Known for her celebration of the exuberant, the embellished, and the over the top, Betsey has been rocking the fashion industry with her unique and original designs since the 1960’s. Her commitment to remain true to her one-of-a-kind vision has afforded Betsey continued success in an industry known for its fickleness. Her ability to change with the times while keeping her designs pure has not gone unnoticed. At the 1999 CFDA Awards, Betsey was presented The Timeless Talent Award created especially for her, which recognized her influence on fashion throughout her career.
In 1964, Betsey officially entered the New York fashion scene by winning Mademoiselle magazine’s “Guest Editor Contest.” One year later, she landed the top designer position for Paraphernalia, a clothing boutique that at the time housed the hottest young London designers, including Mary Quant and Paco Rabanne, among others. What would soon become known as Betsey’s trademark look began its formulations here: sexy silhouettes, hippie inspired flowing fabrics, whimsical detailing and, most importantly, a fabulous fit.
