And the 2009 Medal of Honor for Lifetime Achievement in Fashion goes to the...
Brilliant Betsey Johnson. New York fashion designer received the fabulous award at this years National Arts Club dinner. Some would say that it's about time she finally won as she has been a fashion designer for over 40 years. One of her models was the iconic Andy Warhol's superstar Edie Sedgwick back in the swinging 60's.
A portrait of the designer will hang up at the NAC company to honor her achievements. If you were unaware of BJ's creative mind and fabulous creations you may think she is mad to show up at a black tie event wearing what could be described as the contents of a child's dressing up box, but that is a reason people love her. She's unique, an original wild child.
When B won the award she gushed “It’s the biggest, best, fair-square celebration from the last place I’d dreamt of, It’s the big bang.”
