The 80’s have seemingly been this season’s biggest trend, as elements from the decade have popped up in every city throughout fashion month. In New York, color seemed to play the biggest role on the runway, and many designers like Marc Jacobs, Carolina Herrera, and Adam Selman opted for vibrant, 80’s inspired hues as opposed to subtle neutrals. At Tibi, a collection inspired by cities and architecture, featured bright orange, yellow, and blue, all in oversized, relaxed silhouettes. Jeremy Scott, who is often influenced by the 80’s decade, showed a sci-fi inspired collection featuring tracksuits, neon accessories, and puffer jackets in bold colors and metallic finishes.

Captivating AND psychedelic only begin to describe Betsey Johnson’s Fall 2012 runway show. She liberated the creative endeavors of her mind, as she almost always does, by unveiling a collection of 60’s inspired ensembles. Take, for example, the first look of the show: “Sergent Pepper,” a sexy take on a herringbone suit, as skin tight as it gets. The rest of the show boasted a trippy, mod feel with over the top neon electric pinks, purples, and oranges combined with a lot of black and a bit of sparkle. Mini skirts had their moment as well as fluffy fur collars and a variety of dresses towards the end. Betseymania ended with models cheering her on, silver pom-pom style, as the designer herself took a moment to shine, accompanied by her daughter and grandaughter, via her famous runway cartwheel and split. A revolutionary herself, Betsey Johnson is perfectly inclined to describe a decade of social revolution through radical fashion.
