"Making clothes involves what I like: color, pattern, shape and movement. I like the everyday process, the people, the pressure and the surprise of seeing the work come alive walking and dancing around on strangers. Like red lipstick on the mouth, my products wake up and brighten and bring the wearer to life, drawing attention to her beauty and specialness, her moods and movements, her dreams and fantasies." - Betsey Johnson
