Lauren's Fashion Week Diary: Meeting Betsey Johnson
Filed under: Style in the News, Fashion Week
Anyone who knows me (in real life or on the web) knows that I love Betsey Johnson. It's not just love thing, it's a full on obsession. I have been wearing Betsey Johnson clothes for years; I even worked at two of her boutiques. I am a Betsey girl for life so you can imagine my surprise when I saw her in my hotel lobby.I saw her from behind and had no idea it was Betsey, I just thought it was a blond woman wearing Betsey Johnson. As soon as this woman turned around my jaw hit the floor. OMG! It's Betsey Johnson. I attempted to keep my cool and decided to walk up to her to say hello. Let's just say I wasn't at my coolest but once she gave me a huge hug the ice was broken and I was fine.
We talked for a good 15 minutes. She gushed over my coat (it was one of hers) and kept asking herself why she didn't keep one of those for herself. She talked about her daughter and the love of her life her granddaughter and she talked about her endless love affair with New York City (really, what can be better than New York?)
Meeting Betsey Johnson literally made my trip. I could have turned around and gone back to L.A. a happy girl but I think I will stay to see what other fashion miracles the universe has in store for me.
