The Show: Betsey Johnson Fall 2014
The Theme: “Betsey’s HOT”
The Color Palette: Neon hues of pink, green, yellow, orange, and blue, bright fuchsia and purple, green, black, gold, silver, and of course, animal print.
About the Collection: The Betsey Johnson runway show was red HOT as beautiful, confident models strutted down the runway clad in neon from head to toe. While Betsey didn’t stray from her usual feminine and whimsical designs, this collection proved that she still has such an abundance of creativity that she can always put forth new and original ideas. While some looks sported high necklines and flowing, long skirts, Betsey hasn’t forgotten her daring, wild side. Numerous tutus, mini skirts, and glittery party dresses were constantly showcased. The collection also features several colored and printed fur pieces, from vests to cropped jackets to luxurious coats.
The show ended on a high note as Betsey Johnson was escorted to the runway by two firefighters leading to her signature cartwheel into a split for her finale, with the models in tow, skipping down the runway with balloons. Essentially, the Betsey Johnson runway show emulated that “one” quintessential party that everyone wishes they could re-live forever.
