About the Brand

Betsey was born in Connecticut and spent her childhood in dance classes. Her aspirations to be a dancer and her love for costumes laid the foundation for Betsey's creativity and inspiration, which is still evident in her designs today. After a decade of designing for other labels, Betsey decided to make a dramatic change in her life and in 1978, she formed a partnership with Chantal Bacon and started the Betsey Johnson label. Since then, Betsey has expanded into handbags, lingerie, footwear, belts, eyewear, watches, costume jewelry, swimwear, leg wear, outerwear and a fragrance.
