Betsey Johnson
REVIEW
COMPLETE COLLECTION
NEW YORK, September 13, 1999

"Freedom Girls" was the theme for Betsey Johnson's rambunctious, colorful presentation, set to DJ Mark Ronson's funky beats. And true to theme, the real-life models, ranging in age from ten years old to fifty something, who stalked the makeshift runway in Johnson's Seventh Avenue neon-pink and yellow showroom did radiate a sense of fashion, liberation. Johnson's signature playful prints showed up in sexy baby doll halters, micro-cardigans, peasant skirts, and simple sheath dresses. "Farm girl" looks mingled with western ensembles of flared jeans with ruffles, and middle eastern-inspired shawls and skirts. "This is a celebration of personal style," declared Johnson, who also served as the show's emcee.
