Betsey Johnson

Mark Vitulano

Mention the name "Betsey Johnson" and almost every woman from 15 to 75 can rapturously recall a favorite dress or outfit; whether worn for a prom, a wedding, or just to stand out from the crowd in a colorful way. Betsey is also famous for her iconic pink stores and for her habit of doing cartwheels and splits down the runway at the close of her fashion shows. Her candid memories of the fashion scene in the 60s will discuss her business's ups and downs and reinventions (including bankruptcy), and her thoughts on body image, love, divorce, men, motherhood, and her bout with breast cancer. -- adapted from jacket
