Fashion Week is all about finding and setting trends, but there is one woman that has always stood above the rest—Betsey Johnson. From her clothing (more fun and vibrant than ever), to her hair (spray-painted wigs!) to her runway shows (we got two shows in one), you can always expect the unexpected. Not surprisingly, this year's show did not disappoint. We kicked things off backstage, where it wasn't your normal chaotic environment—it was a party! She filled the backstage area with a DJ booth, balloons and giant flowers in every corner. It was a feel-good vibe that was contagious to everyone in the room and made its way to the runway as well.
Betsey gave us two runway shows that night, first up was her more high-end line, Black Tag, which had models wearing severe wigs, while showing off dark leather, bright animal prints and vibrant colors. Next up, was her more affordable collection, Pink Patch, which showcased Betsey Johnson employees modeling the looks. They each sported Betsey look-a-like wigs as they worked the runway in '90s-inspired styles. Betsey, of course, concluded the show with her signature cartwheel and worked the runway, reminding us all why she is still one of the biggest trendsetters out there.
What do you think about the Betsey Johnson collection?
