Yippee!

Queen of fun and fashion, Betsey Johnson, is working on redeveloping her signature '80s perfume to release to the masses. Since very few of us got our hands on it the first time, it's going to be awesome... especially since Betsey's making some cool claims about the scent.

I might be biased about the perfume, since Betsey's an alumna of my uni (Syracuse) and has always been on my radar. Hear me out, though--she's pretty darn cool and revamping that boutique-only scent wasn't easy.

The fragrance from the '80s was copied very closely, Betsey explained, after news of her joining forces with Inter Parfums hit. On top of the copied scent, it sounds like cosmetics and a wider perfume collection will soon be coming our way.

"The agreement runs through 2015 and covers sales to Betsey Johnson stores, both in shops and online. There is also a licensing component that lets Inter Parfums sell the products to specialty and department stores," the Associated Press reported this week.

Betsey Johnson Taps the Past For a New Scent

Only a few people got the chance to smell the original Betsey Johnson boutique-only scent from the '80s, but if you'd like to, you'll have your chance soon, because the design house has teamed up with fragrance maker Inter Parfums for a new perfume that Betsey says is "as close as we could [get to the original formula]."

Betsey also promises that "It ain't gonna be au natural, sweet, foodlike — like chocolate — [or] patchouli." And she declares that it will bring the menfolk a-running. "If I don't get compliments [on a fragrance], if guys don't like it, I throw it out the window," she says. If you're curious to see what this nonsweet honeytrap of a perfume smells like, it'll be out in Betsey's boutiques and online next month. What do you think? Do you like the idea of this retread, or do you think Betsey should have covered some new territory?

A special note from ME (Jennifer) I was told today from a source at Betsey Johnson it is possible the Scent from the Past to be released soon will be a limited run and then replaced by the new fragrance launching next year.  Just passing on what I have heard but Hmmmmmmm maybe this means we should all scarf up the Vintage Fragrance as it wont be around for long WINK!

Madonna, daughter Lourdes partner on junior fashion line

Madonna, daughter Lourdes partner on junior fashion line Madonna is hoping to go from fashion icon to fashion mogul with her latest endeavor. The pop star and her 13-year-old daughter, Lourdes Maria Ciccone Leon, are partnering on a junior fashion line called Material Girl, which will be sold exclusively at Macy's for back-to-school season, and although the clothes won't land in stores until Aug. 3, sketches were released Tuesday. The line is named after Madonna's 1984 hit song, and there are some similarities to the pop star's 1980s iteration — the (very) short skirt, the corset top, the layered jewelry. But the muse is Lourdes, or Lola as she is known, Madonna's daughter with trainer Carlos Leon. Material Girl will include apparel, footwear, jewelry and handbags, and items will range from $12 to $40. The first collection mixes hard and soft elements, "like a tutu dress and studded-combat boots, or an oversized boyfriend sweatshirt with a floral ...

Betsey Johnson Runway Show NYFW Fall 2010

Betsey Johnson Runway Show NYFW Fall 2010  Just out and hot off the runway is Betsey Johnson's Runway Show Fall 2010 Ready To Wear Collection..... NEW YORK , February 14, 2010 By Alison Baenen   Betsey returned to the runway and—to prove her performance skills hadn't dulled—made sure all the high-camp high jinks of old were in place. Kelly Osbourne, looking model thin, came out first, walking on a hay-strewn surface. She exuberantly tore off the bandanna covering her face, and…Yee-haw! We found ourselves in the Wild Wild West. Johnson's inspiration this season was, modestly, 45 years' worth of her own archives. "I'm working on my stuff, being very true-blue Betsey," she said. Her signature gun prints were there in spades, accessorized with candy-bright plastic pistols; there were striped bodysuits and tutus. The models sashayed along in groups with monikers like Banditos, Madames, and Brothelettes, usually with one among their number clad in a sweater...
