With her exuberant, eye-catching designs, Betsey Johnson has been making fashion fun for over 40 years. Her career began in New York in the mid-60s where she developed her trademark looks of sexy silhouettes, hippie-inspired flowing fabrics, and whimsical detailing. Since then she has remained true to her vision while adding a number of licensing deals (shoes, watches, etc.), retail stores, and the Betseyville line of handbags (named after the hotel she purchased in Mexico).

“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.”
