Betsey Johnson: Spring 2008
![]() |
My Prom kind of sucked, both times. Yup, I went to Prom twice, and I had a miserable time twice. Ask me one day, and maybe I’ll tell you the details, but for now, I’ve decided my Prom wouldn’t have been so wretched if Betsey Johnson was involved.
This season Betsey’s entire collection was about Prom, and what a prom it would have been if everyone was dressed in BJ. She adorned the models in dresses inspired by every decade. Girls trotted down the runway in everything from fifties dresses with giant crinolines to a red, white, and blue dress commemorating 9/11 (she showed on Sept. 11th).
We couldn’t help but to ooh and ahh at each dress, even if we wouldn’t have worn them to prom; they were all just so beautiful. We were also really stoked BJ loves fakey flowers in the hair just as much as we do. More than one model came down the runway with over-sized floral arrangements on top of their heads and we jumped for joy.
All of those girls who still have a chance to go to Prom, this collection is a great place to start looking for inspiration, or you could technically wait until spring and just buy these Betsey dresses. Either way, you’ll be the bell of the ball!
