Review: So last year I was invited to Betsey Johnson, and because of conflicting schedules, I was unable to attend. I went this season and now I highly regret that decision. The show was unbelievable. Inspired by bike riding and New York, Betsey really knows not only how to put on a show, but really have the theme evoke from the clothing. There were various sections, from a cutesy New York girl that clashes with punk, to a navy section with great blue and white jackets, to a short vaudeville section with big hair and big corsets, to tons of tulle and showpieces. One of the models skateboarded down the runway, and for the finale, Betsey rode her bike down the runway and the models wore body-con yellow "Le Tour De Betsey" dresses as they waved the checkered flag down the runway. Overall its a great collection that showed various inspirations which brings me back to seeing one of her pieces in a Vogue Paris spread, and now I know why. Only she can create such variety that can appeal to multiple markets.
