Sep 19, 2012 @ 2:00 pm

Move over, Cinderella—Minnie Mouse is taking over the fashion industry! Since the First Lady of Disney released a collection of OPI nail polishdesigners across the globe have been clamoring to work with her. The result: a holiday collection with Barneys (complete with ears designed by Rag & Bone and L’Wren Scott) and spots on both the New York and London Fashion Week runways.

Happy 70th Birthday, Betsey Johnson! She’s Back with New Dresses

Sep 12, 2012 @ 1:57 pm

It was a (belated) birthday party last night for Betsey Johnson! After a tumultuous year, the cartwheeling designer, who has been in the business for nearly 50 years and is best known for her super feminine dresses and outrageous look, celebrated her 70th in style last night with a retrospective fashion show and the launch of her comeback dress line, complete with a performance by Cyndi Lauper! “I was so lucky to have my stores for as long as I did,” Johnson told us backstage. “This new line is just so me. It’s a little bit older, more mature, but it’s still Betsey.” For Johnson, that meant maturity with flare on nighties featuring Minnie Mouse and countless cupcake dresses, perfect for a glam Sweet 16 or a fun red carpet. Click through to see our 5 favorite dresses!

Betsey Johnson’s Comeback: New Dress Line and Fan-Filled Fashion Show

Aug 7, 2012 @ 12:00 pm

Betsey Johnson may have shuttered her stores this year, but her hot pink dresses and printed floral skirts aren’t going anywhere just yet! The designer just announced that she will launch a collection only of dresses—her most sought-after items—that will sell in department stores and boutiques come spring 2013. Fans of Betsey will get a peek at her new duds next month during her Fashion Week show, which is gearing up to be a retrospective of her work from the ‘60s, ‘70s, and ‘80s. Fans can even contribute to her runway lineup by submitting photos of her vintage pieces to her BJ Treasure Hunt on Facebook. One lucky winner will win a ticket to her runway show (and see her infamous finale acrobatics in person). Things are looking up for Betsey—and her fans!

Nov 30, 2011 @ 10:00 am

Betsey Johnson and Lanvin’s Alber Elbaz are showing their holiday spirit by giving Christmas trees designer makeovers! Johnson teamed with The Plaza in New York City to design the hotel’s first official tree, a candy pink-covered timber inspired by the famed Eloise from Kay Thompson’s 1955 children’s book. On the other side of the pond, Alber Elbaz of Lanvin designed a tree for London hotel Claridge’s, which features marionettes dressed in Lanvin-designed hotel uniforms. Both will be up through January 9th. Season’s greetings!
