Fashion Designer of the Month for January 2023

Bio

Betsey Johnson is a designer like no other. She has been creating bold, fun, and gorgeous looks since the 1960s, having first gotten her start with global fashion brand, Paraphernalia, as the top designer. Her talent sparkled early on, and continues to wow, as she creates looks that never fail to impress.

Her style can be described as flamboyant, over-the-top, and of course, creative. Her looks always combine a new mixture of bold prints, gaudy embellishments, and playful ruffles, but the one thing they always have in common is a great fit. Her love for theatrics and costume gave rise to her outrageously delightful style that has managed to keep up with constantly evolving fashion trends. Betsey Johnson is just as current as she was when she started, if not more. Her playful looks are a true reflection of her character, and to prove it, the 80-year-old designer punctuates  the end of all her runway shows with a cartwheel and a split!
