Betsey Johnson, notorious for “over the top” or OTT (this is a permissible internet acronym now, did you know?), girly designs sent about a gazillion models down her runway – half of which could easily be confused for people I see in the street. Meaning? They weren’t uniformly sized or shaped, nor all a size 2.
The first half of Betsey’s collection was expertly styled and sent down the runway on industry standards (read: size 0-2) and shortly following, a new set of models began to appear – front of the line being fellow blogger, Gala Darling. The next was a woman who couldn’t have been more than 5’7″! The woman after that, a woman with a booty! A real boo-tay! What is going on!?
I’ll tell you what’s going on. Bestey chose these women to debut her new, lower priced line, Pink Patch. Oh, the euphemisms. The women representing the line in their various shapes and sizes were members of Betsey’s crew, family and friends.
Not only did Betsey put all body types on display, she put all…
* ages
* races
* heights
* widths
* backgrounds…
…down her runway during Fashion Week. Hell. Yes. Oh, and one of them was pregnant.
