Say it ain't so! Betsey Johnson, everyone's favorite catwalk cartwheeler, will not, we repeat, will not put on a runway production next season under the Bryant Park tents at New York Fashion in February.While no comment has been given by the Jonhson team on why there won't be a major runway show, we're sure it probably has to do with our troubling economy and the fact that it costs at least $10,000 to stage a proper production for 1,000 retail buyers, media and celebrities at fashion week.
Not all is loss for those who adore Betsey, though. The designer reportedly will still put on a fashion show or presentation. Although, it has yet to be confirmed where a show may possibly take place.
