Betsey Johnson

First shaking up the World of Fashion in the 1960’s, Betsey Johnson’s visions and creations have as few rules and limitations as the decade in which she began designing. But while Hippies and Free Love reigned, Betsey Johnson’s world was still greatly influenced by the finesse and structure of ballet. Spending her childhood in dance classes in Connecticut, Betsey developed a love for over the top, adorned costumes no doubt influenced by neighboring New York. From a young age, fashion was just a part of the every day performance called life for Betsey Johnson. With all the ornamentation on her apparel, there was no way Johnson was going to tone it down on her shoes—all perfect for a costume party or a brave partier. The munchkins in Munchkin Land would have greeted Dorothy eye to eye in the Starburst Upper slip on heels, with gemstone center flowers big enough to be a stage prop. Leopard abounds in appropriately fierce ankle boots with seductive slits showing off a little of your own smooth fur coat—I mean, skin. But Leopard print isn’t only reserved for the viciousness of a boot. Seemingly Betsey Johnson’s favorite print, you’ll find leopard on her Mary Janes, platforms, and even the inside of her ballerina flats. The Betsey Johnson collection of footwear lets you see the world as full of possibilities and without restrictions. Who says you have to be fierce or dainty? Sure some of Betsey’s Stilettos are fit for a stampede, but you’ll find her softer side in some of her sandals and slides lower, more approachable heel heights. You never know who you’ll wake up as—a sex kitten or cruel vixen. Betsey Johnson has a pair of shoes to fit your fancy.
