ot for the fashion faint of heart, Betsey Johnson is definitely a name recognized in this industry The Betsey Johnson collection has the same whimsical, over-the-top exuberance as its spirited namesake designer - a woman who cartwheels down the end of her fashion show runways.

The "original wild child," Johnson still owns the majority of her organic home-grown label and continues to pull the strings as dramatically as she wants. Some standout looks swishy, shiny fabrics bringing out the pirouetting six-year-old in everyone who tries them on; super-short baby doll dresses bring out the inner tart. Bustier tops and waist ties are everywhere, along with that Quicksilver Jersey dress. Or a knee-length silk wrap dress with full sleeves ($560). Daytime wear may be less formal - a collection that's embraced by both the prom-going set and long-time fans that are all grown-up. Ladieswear.
