Betsey Johnson

Wed, Aug 01, 2007
From the Warhol 60s, to the Bohemian chic 70s, to the flashy 80s to today, Betsey Johnson's fashions constantly change and adapt with the times and never grow tired. As an award-winning designer, she has been rocking the world of fashion with her unique design savvy since the 1960s. Her work is as relevant and fresh today as it was when she started. Betsey maintains that the secret to her successful career and happiness is that she never sold out or merged and has maintained an independent business. Married 3 times, with one daughter and a grandchild, she feels 25, not 65. She gives no attention to her age and is still famously doing cartwheels down the runway. Now with 50 Betsey Johnson stores from LA to Dubai, Betsey has been inducted into the Fashion Walk of Fame, battled cancer in both body and spirit and has come out on top, on her own terms.

Erin Adams

Wed, Aug 01, 2007
Award-winning artisan and designer Erin Adams works with glass tile creating spectacular custom mosaics and patterns with folk-art elements that influenced her as a child. Her one-of-a-kind couture designs have been commissioned by celebrities and have been sought after by designers and commercial venues worldwide. As a reluctant artist, life certainly had its twists and turns as she came to find her success. Erin was raised in San Antonio, Texas, by an eccentric cattleman father and a folk artist mother. Her father's true love of alcohol and partying cost him his land, his marriage and his family. Determined not to be an artist, believing an artistic lifestyle was her family's determent, Erin pursued a career in psychology. Her artist pedigree caught up with her and she was drawn back to her passion for art. Sick of her designs being copied by others, she started her own tile design business, which is now a multimillion dollar company.
