Dark colors, black, cut-outs and flounce meet a huge splash of bright hot pink: That’s the best way to describe the Betsey Johnson Fall 2011 Fashion Collection, or at least the inspiration for the playful and flirty dresses that are now part of the company’s collection. On Sept. 6, the W Buckhead hosted Betsey Johnson’s Super-Cala-Fashion-istic Fall 2011 Fashion Event. The event became so crowded that some fashionistas were even turned away, and seating was limited to the point where many patrons were forced to stand for the entire show. Despite technical difficulties — faulty microphones and lighting, an overcrowded venue and a runway so small and shaky that two models actually fell while making their way down the runway — as well as the two cute, fun dancers who entertained the crowd halfway through the show, the highlights of the fashion event were the clothes themselves. Cute and celebratory, they’re the kindof thing you’d feel right at home in at your birthday party.
