If the three hour photographer waiting line for this show wasn't an indication, then the packed theater at Lincoln Center Monday proved Betsey Johnson was the hottest fashion show this season. Fall 2012 for the fashion icon included big fur faux wraps and collars.
There were cheeky cocktail dresses with flouncy skirts, mini shorts and mini skirts with colored tights. Also, slim, cigarette trousers and wildly printed blouses and tea dresses the designer is known for. Coats were A-line or a fit and flare silhouette. There were graphic black and white looks, with stripes or bold motifs. Then the ultra-girly pinks, teal and purples of her signature palette.
Accessories included brightly colored fedoras and large pieced clutch bags in harlequin colors. Jewelry was flash, fun and not to be taken too seriously.
All three generations of Johnson ladies walked the runway for the finale. The little lady and Mom, Lulu Johnson flaunted complementary pink dresses. Grandma Betsey led a cheer leading squad after her signature cartwheel and even a quick split landing. Rock on Betsey!
