Last week at Fashion Forward, Betsey Johnson showed a collection of dresses that totally blew
our minds.
our minds. Pop music blared,
lights flashed,
women with giant hair cascaded down the runway,
and all we wrote in our notebook
was: "Betsey Johnson is a total freaking rock star."
The good news is that we also took pictures. The above was the final look from the show, and was greeted with audible gasps from the audience. The astounding white dress moved like liquid and encapsulated the free, frenzied, fun spirit for which Betsey Johnson is known.
From Betsey Johnson: “Making clothes involves what I like…color, pattern, shape and movement…I like the everyday process…the people, the pressure, the surprise of seeing the work come alive walking and dancing around on strangers. Like red lipstick on the mouth, my products wake up and brighten and bring the wearer to life…drawing attention to her beauty and specialness…her moods and movements…her dreams and fantasies.”
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!”
