For today's Fan Friday, I wanted to discuss a brand that is very dear to my heart: Betsey Johnson. As a young girl just getting into fashion, Betsey's fun and whimsical creations really captured my attention. Her party dresses were beautiful, bright, and fluffy. Her clothing looks like a dream for a punk Barbie. Did you SEE her latest collection - inspired by pre-nups, involving the fabulous drag queens Willam Belli and Sharon Needles? Betsey is forward thinking in more than just the fashion sense.
Betsey Johnson on her own is fascinating. She was part of Andy Warhol's hip scene in the 1960s, using Edie Sedgwick as a model for her clothing, and has grown and transformed to each new decade. Her line has spanned from clothing to jewelry to legwear and shoes. Her brand has gone through some ups and downs, but she celebrated her 40th anniversary in 2012. Not only is she a fierce woman (and cartwheeling master!), she recently was on Dancing With The Stars! Is there anything this diva can't conquer??
Here are some pictures of the woman herself and from her collections.

| Some of Betsey's clothing - as you can see, very girly and yet still punk inspired. Lots of pink, frills, and feminine silhouettes! It's like straight out of a children's dream. |

| Betsey's jewelry is full of charms, bright colors, and fun symbols of pop culture. |

Have a fun Friday, kittens <3
