Betsey Johnson – the prom dress queen. This creative, courageous designer’s career spans more than four decades. From designing rocking outfits for the Andy Warhol scene to dressing teen girls dreaming of moonlight high school proms, Betsey Johnson has left her mark on fashion.
Betsey launched her fashion career in 1964 when she won Mademoiselle magazine’s “Guest Editor Contest.” Soon after the award, Betsey joined Paraphernalia as the hot clothing boutique’s top designer. After her stint at Paraphernalia, Johnson assumed creative control of the Alley Cat label before deciding to set out on her own. Joining together with model Chantal Bacon, Johnson launched the Betsey Johnson label and opened her first store in the heart of Soho in 1978.
The independence Betsey enjoys from owning her own label enables her to remain true to her style. While continuing to evolve and remain current in the public’s eye, Betsey maintains her trademark look of sexy silhouettes and vibrant floral patterns. Today, her fashion week collections are greeted with much expectation. The exuberant Johnson completes each new collection show by performing a cartwheel on the runway.
