the Betsy Johnson fashion show
Then we headed to the Betsy Johnson fashion show and birthday party. The runway
itself was a highly polished white with a black glitter-filled panel backdrop
with the words “Betsy Johnson” in the middle. The show started off with a miniconcert
by Cyndi Lauper, who sang “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun.” The models sometimes
skipped playfully down the runway in clothing that featured themes from
the 60s to today’s style. It all culminated in a “Princess” theme that filled the runway.
The models then threw confetti on the stage as they walked back down the runway
to birthday songs. At the end of the show, Betsy Johnson’s daughter Lulu popped out
of a huge faux birthday cake, as models filled the runway with birthday balloons and
more confetti. Betsy Johnson then performed her signature cartwheel and splits as her
granddaughters watched. This was indeed a huge birthday celebration for Betsy Johnson,
who turned 70 last month.

Next we visited the Jeremy Scott fashion show. Celebrities Paris Hilton and Tyra Banks were present in the first row of the show along with many other
stars. The theme of the show was “Arab Spring” with a lot of silk, sheer and leather fabrics with animal prints. The sheer veils that the models wore
were paired with flat-brimmed hats, gold toed over the knee boots, mesh tank tops, jersey dresses and lots and lots of gold. Some of the outfits were
inspired by AK47 guns. The music for the show, mostly Missy Elliott and Aaliyah, blared in the background. This was a fun and original, yet wearable
collection.
