Barneys Over Betty

BETTY JACKSON SS09 .JPG

My favorite part of the Betty Jackson show, aside from Times UK critic Lisa Armstrong telling me she loved my dress, was the models' hair and make-up.

Everyone's locks were pinned up into a sort of woven crown on top of their heads, secured with a retro banded headband on top of a bare face but for bright red lips.

The clothes were less succinct - a few hospital gowns, very simple silk beige dresses, some high-waisted black hotpants I'd buy in a second if I lived on a runway, and a little striped number that I think I saw at Anthropologie a few weeks ago.

A few of the dresses were pretty, a ruffled jumpsuit screamed, "Spring 09!!" but overall the clothes weren't enough to sustain audience interest.

So we told Lisa about the Barney's Warehouse sale instead.

"But literally? In a warehouse? And editors go?" she asked.

"Yes! Really! You'll have to come and write about it," we told her.

"I have to come just to shop it!"

Well, yes.
