They are set in gold-tone metal with a post back closure. This New York designer has been rocking the fashion industry with her unique and original designs since the 1960s, known for her celebration of the exuberant and over the top, as well as her commitment to remaining true to her one-of-a-kind vision. Born in Connecticut, Johnson's love for dance and costumes laid the foundation for her creativity and inspiration.

Career & Achievements: Betsey won the Mademoiselle magazine "Guest Editor Contest" in 1964, and a year later, she became the top designer for Paraphernalia. Known for her sexy silhouettes and fabulous fit, Johnson soon found herself in the unforgettable 1960s Warhol scene. She began retail in 1969 with the opening of Betsey Bunki Nini and in the early 1970s, she took creative control of the Alley Cat label, later winning the coveted Coty Award in 1972 with Halston, when she was the youngest designer to ever receive the honor. In 1978, she formed a partnership with Chantal Bacon and started the Betsey Johnson label. Today there are over sixty-five Betsey Johnson stores worldwide.

International Expansion & Achievements: Betsey opened the first store in Japan in September 2006 and in 1998, London store. In 2003, she entered into the licensing of handbags and lingerie, and continued to add footwear, belts, eyewear, watches, jewelry, swimwear, legwear, outerwear, and a fragrance. She was honored with an induction into the Fashion Walk of Fame in late 2002, a Lifetime Achievement Award in 2005, and a Designer of the Year Award in 2007.

Philanthropy: Betsey is a breast cancer survivor and advocate, supporting numerous fund-raising events and charities, including the National Breast Cancer Coalition and Fashion Targets Breast Cancer initiative. She hosts Courage Nights each year in her boutiques nationally and internationally.

Quote 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.”

Conclusion: Betsey Johnson's enthusiasm, creativity, and boundless talent have kept her at the forefront of fashion for the past 45 years. 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!”
