Betsey Johnson On Her Life As A Fashion Designer And Icon
Betsey Johnson went from a “cornball Connecticut” childhood to hanging out with Andy Warhol and selling clothes to Prince.
Her stories about combining life in the avant-garde and the volatile business of fashion make for an intriguing memoir.
She joined me on the podcast to chat about:
How she got her start in fashion sewing clothes at night to sell to her co-workers
Hiring sex workers and strippers to model her clothes at her early shows
Getting married in a top that barely covered her crotch because the marriage officiant didn’t approve of her bell-bottom pants
How she worked with Mark Vitulano, her former receptionist, to write the book
Why pedaling her own bicycle is her secret to success
Why you’re only as good as your last sale
Order Betsey’s memoir below.
