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.
The tireless 71-year-old designer, best known for punky prom dresses and a lot of pink, introduced her fall collection Monday as a theatrical exercise video for the Style Network program "Betsey and Lulu,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," which follows the lives of Johnson and her daughter.
It was a catwalk of energetic, 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, towels and wine bottles.
The collection, named "BJ Kicks A," veered from the high school dance party looks that she has championed for decades,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], running toward a junior high school gym class with a lot of cheek. It was an explosion of neon pink and yellow,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], 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,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and somehow more on-trend. The leggings, some in solid black,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], 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,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], 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,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], which filed for bankruptcy protection more than a year ago and is now owned by Steve Madden.
Closing the show,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], 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, so be active in it!
By the time the sweaty models - some tired and barely keeping up - exited the runway, Johnson's trademark show-ending cartwheel and ensuing split didn't look so out of place after all.
