True to form, the notoriously colorful character Betsey Johnson treated the runway like more of a stage at NYC Fashion Week at her Spring 2011 show. Entitled 'Le Tour de Betsey,' the performance began with Betsey Johnson on a bicycle.
For the remainder of the show, the theme of eco-friendly transportation became more and more evident. With some models on skateboards and some wearing sailor-inspired outfits, the mantra for the Betsey Johnson show was "Ride me."
