Back in January I noted that Betsey Johnson had teamed up with Opening Ceremony to reissue a number of her classic designs from past decades in honor of this year's welcoming the 30th anniversary of her namesake fashion house. Well, images of looks, which will hit the NYC-born retailer's racks this fall, have arrived. Get ready to start salivating. Dazed Digital has images from the collection, simply called the Betsey Johnson Archive Collection, which, not surprisingly, is perfectly Betsey: think in your face floral graphic prints and fun, 80s club appropriate silhouettes ornamented with exposed zippers and cut-outs.

Fashion collaborations are taking place left and right these days, and I’m not just talking about the token Target and Topshop designer partnerships. Betsey Johnson has announced she’ll be teaming up with boutique and clothing brand Opening Ceremony, paying homage to her namesake line’s 30-year anniversary with a re-launch of classic pieces. “The 35-piece capsule collection of styles plucked from Johnson’s past -- reissues, not redesigns -- includes pieces from her Paraphernalia and Alley Cat collections, and will launch for fall in Opening Ceremony’s New York and Los Angeles stores, select Betsey Johnson stores, and other retailers,” says WWD.

Sassy punker Katy Perry, who topped Billboard and iTunes charts with her raucous hit “I Kissed A Girl,” says that she grew up coveting the sexy, colorful and body-conscious designs of Betsey Johnson. The admiration, it turns out, is mutual: Johnson, a playful soul for all seasons, expresses an almost teenage enthusiasm for Perry’s music, attitude and look. The two disciplined free spirits got together with James Servin to talk about fame, fabulousness, inspiration and female bonding.
