In true Vegas fashion, Betsey Johnson put on her usually entertaining show at New York Fashion Week with funky style and over-the-top antics. Her guests received an invitation in the form of a pill bottle filled with mints and the show notes were dressed up like a doctor’s chart. Not the usual models that look like they are suffering from a case of constipation, her models were happy, life-like, and fun to watch as they danced up and down the runway. Betsy’s is one of the shows that people look forward to the most during fashion week, and she did not disappoint with a cool, sexy, and flamboyant street style.
The collection features a colorful selection of fitted jumpsuits, flared skirts, frilled mini dresses, and fabulous multi-layered and multi-colored organza and mesh ball gowns. The models wore fun, neon-pink wigs to top off the look of the collection. The accessories included glam chests, fingerless gloves, large “Betsey” chains and belt buckles, and flirty beach hats. The floral and animal prints are fabulous in a variety of styles. The punk rocker chick element was the best part of the show. The show ended with a spectacular display of colorful boy shorts with the days of the week printed on them, followed by Betsey Johnson doing cartwheels and splits down the runway with her daughters. The Betsey Johnson Spring 2014 RTW Collection truly was a highlight of New York Fashion Week.
