Tireless Betsey Johnson gets more active for fall with gym
- Betsey Johnson didn't just have a party at Lincoln Center. She led an exercise class,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
The tireless 71-year-old designer, best known for punky prom dresses and a lot of pink,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], introduced her fall collection Monday as a theatrical exercise video for the Style Network program "Betsey and Lulu," which follows the lives of Johnson and her daughter.
It was a catwalk of energetic,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], giggly models in active wear chatting on cellphones as they waved to attendees, then an exercise routine led by the designer that included running in place, yoga and pull-ups. Rows of pink yoga mats were strewn on the runway,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], each accompanied by a pair of high-top sneakers,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], towels and wine bottles.
The collection,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], named "BJ Kicks A," veered from the high school dance party looks that she has championed for decades, running toward a junior high school gym class with a lot of cheek. It was an explosion of neon pink and yellow, animal prints and plaids on mini dresses worn over leggings,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a veritable visual feast piled over one another.
A bright yellow and black tartan plaid mini dress served as the base for black leggings,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a shiny red belt,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and a black-and-white patent leather jacket accented in lipstick red and backed with a giant red heart. A string of white pearls alluded to the idea that perhaps the dress could be appropriate outside the gym. And to top it off, the models - as well as Johnson - pulled their hair into long ponytails,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], then donned contrasting bowl-cut style wigs to demonstrate just how flouncy it all could be.
Taken as separates, the clothes were more approachable than Johnson's standard party looks, and somehow more on-trend. The leggings,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], some in solid black, others in brightly colored camouflage or neon floral prints, was a Johnson take on the printed trouser look.
A sheer animal-print dress was in neutral browns and had a calf-length hem,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], as did many of the other dresses in the collection. A neon floral printed peplum sweatshirt was a fun take on an office-y silhouette, and the handful of faux-fur coats and vests looked surprisingly luxe. As a whole,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], branching out beyond prom dresses was a smart move for the brand, which filed for bankruptcy protection more than a year ago and is now owned by Steve Madden.
Closing the show, the models took to the yoga mats as Johnson emerged in leggings and neon-yellow high-top sneakers and flopped to the floor. As she and the models ran through the gamut of exercise routines - push-ups with their hands in the extra pairs of sneakers, weight lifts with the wine bottles, yoga positions and leg stretches - the message was clear: this is active wear,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], so be active in it!
By the time the sweaty models - some tired and barely keeping up - exited the runway,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Johnson's trademark show-ending cartwheel and ensuing split didn't look so out of place after all.
