BETSEY JOHNSON Betsey Johnson (born August 10th, 1942 in Wethersfield, Connecticut). She is a fashion designer best known for her feminine and whimsical designs. She also is known for doing a cartwheel at the end of her fashion shows. She took many dance classes as a child and adolescent which inspired her love of costumes. After high school, Johnson studied at the Pratt Institute and then later graduated from Syracuse University. In 1967 she married Velvet Underground's John Cale. They later divorced in 1971. She had a daughter, Lulu, in 1975 who now works with Betsey. She is a survivor of breast cancer and is a breast cancer advocate. She resides in New York but once a week in a month she spends time in her house in Mexico, which she dubbed "Betseyville". Her fashion career started when she entered and won Mademoiselle Guest Editor Contest. Within a year she was the in-house designer for the Manhattan boutique, Paraphernalia. She became part of the youthquake movement. She was part of Andy Warhol's underground scene, along with The Velvet Underground, Edie Sedgwick and Lou Reed. In 1969 she opened up her very own boutique called Betsey Bunki Nini in New York's Upper East Side. Edie Sedgwick was her house model, and designed the clothing Sedgwick wore on her last film, Ciao! Manhattan. In the 1970s she took control of the fashion label "Alley Cat" which was popular with the rock 'n roll musicians of the day. In 1972 she won the Coty award. In 1978 she started her own fashion line, the same year she opened up her first retail store in Soho. Today, there are over forty five of her stores worldwide. In 2002 Johnson was inducted into the Fashion Walk of Fame. In 2003, Johnson expanded her line to include shoes, lingerie and jeans.

Featured Designer
Christian Louboutin
"Move over Manolo Blahnik, Christian Louboutin is the new IT SHOE"
Hollywood's IT Girl are all wearing Christian Louboutins. These hot pumps are being sold out everywhere.
Known for its fabulous red soles.
"A man always remembers a woman with red soles."
history
If the "up-and-coming young man" is a familiar figure in the world of fashion, few have soared as quickly - and to such heights - as Christian Louboutin. Unknown four years ago, this footwear specialist's name is now mispronounced in virtually every language by the swarms of elegant women who, from Los Angeles to Paris, Singapore to Monte Carlo, make and destroy reputations.
He has a boutique in Paris and another in New York, stacks of press articles and legions of imitators. And yet, no established house or family enterprise has put into orbit the twenty-nine-year-old designer who is on first-name terms with Caroline of Monaco and Catherine Deneuve and who, like his mentor Roger Vivier, adorns the feet of the wealthiest and wittiest of this world.
It all started when, as a child, he paused in front of a sign at the Museum of Oceanic Art in Paris. It showed a stiletto heel crossed out by two thick lines, reminding women visitors not to scratch the wooden floor. "It haunted me," he admits with the excited eccentricity that makes his company as charming as his shoes. "What purpose could such a fine, sharp heel have other than to prove you could create the unreal from something real? I spent most of my school years reproducing it on my exercise books and desktops."
Later, he immersed himself in the whirlwind of parties resounding throughout Paris, turning his obsession with shoes towards the music hall: "Besides feathers, the dancers wore virtually nothing except shoes. And it's the combination of shoes and the naked body that interests me. The photographer Helmut Newton also sensed this universe: none of the nudes in his shots wear flat shoes. So, in the meantime, I went round the music halls with my sketches of sandals. 'Sorry, darling,' they said 'we've no money...'" And so Christian Louboutin had to go back to school, to learn all the basics at Charles Jourdan, Maud Frizon, Chanel, Saint Laurent.
His first steps were to open a boutique near the Place des Victoires, in Paris. "Its statue of Louis XIV," notes Christian Louboutin, "is wearing one of my favourite shoes: a sort of reworked leather sandal." The shoes on display inside his boutique look more like colourful, exotic birds, caught inside the pigeonholes of a peculiar dovecote. "I like women to see my shoes as objects of beauty, as gems outside the realm of fashion, with their own universe. Shoes are not an accessory; they're an attribute."
There is only one shoe designer whose footwear is instantly recognisable just from the soles. What makes Christian Louboutin's shoes stand out, besides their exquisite quality, fine craftsmanship, sexy high heels and quirky designs, is the glossy nail-varnish red sole that has become his trademark. "I want to make shoes that are like jewels," Louboutin explains. "Shoes are more than just an accessory; they are an extension of a woman," And when that woman just happens to be Diane von Furstenberg, Celine Dion, and Madonna, Louboutin fans one and all, he is surely on to a good thing.
His name is acclaimed in the most exclusive circles. His shoes are worn on some of the world's most glamorous feet. Catherine Deneuve. Princess Caroline of Monaco. His art contains the essence of Paris, ranging from the esthetics of the Left Bank to those of the Right. Louboutin shoes, whether created for la vie de bohème or a box at L'Opera, are the knockout touch of the most stunning couture outfit.
Early on, Christian Louboutin drew attention by creating shoes using crushed beer cans as heels. No longer. Today, Louboutin shoes speak of the soul and the siren song of romantic Paris.
Inspired by the music halls of Paris (where dancers wore only feathers and stilettos), Louboutin began designing shoes with a similar whimsical flair. Some of his finest creations, all with signature red soles, include high-heeled jeweled flip-flops, multimetallic leather slingbacks, and feather T-strap sandals that became a conversation piece on Sex and the City and are considered collector's items.
Though their styles are remarkably different, Carmen Electra, Amanda Peet, Jessica Simpson, Gwen Stefani and Ashley Olsen all have one fashion fancy in common—they adore Christian Louboutin shoes. Whether stilettos, espadrilles, pumps, or flats, this designer's foot-candy is the most coveted accessory in Hollywood. Hardly a red-carpet event goes by without an oh-so-subtle flash of the signature red sole. Want your own pair? Better hit the stores soon—many styles are already sold out.
Celebs and their Louboutins...
