Happy 68th Birthday, Betsey Johnson!

Aug 12, 2010 @ 2:06 pm

Legendary fashion designer Betsey Johnson, known for her quirky sequined-covered designs and her runway show finale cartwheel, celebrated her 68th birthday in style last night. In an bubble-gum pink dress surrounded by a crew of blonde dread-locked doppelgangers, Johnson rode in on a vintage red bike, and walked the pink carpet into her pink balloon-bedecked Soho store. Guests munched on pink cupcakes and bite-size desserts served on pink spoons, and, at the end of the night, Johnson made her exit via a pink Mini Cooper limo. Happy Birthday Betsey!
