Vintage 1966 Betsey Johnson for Paraphernalia Documented Sequin Mod Mini Dress
By Betsey Johnson
Located in Beverly Hills, CA
A truly iconic and well-documented Betsey Johnson for Paraphernalia black and ivory sequin stripe mini mod dress dating back to her first 1966 collection with the boutique. Almost immediately after graduating from college, Betsey Johnson made her first splash in the New York fashion industry by winning Mademoiselle magazine's Guest Editor Contest. Only one year later, Johnson landed a job as a designer at Paraphernalia, an offbeat New York clothing boutique. Taking her cues from the more avant-garde London fashion scene, Johnson—along with designer Mary Quant and artist Andy Warhol—helped pioneer what became known as the Youthquake movement in fashion, art and culture. We were thrilled to find a picture of this dress at the opening night of her runway collection where a young Andy Warhol can...

1960's Betsey Johnson for Paraphernalia Bubblegum Pink Satin Backless Dress
By Betsey Johnson
Located in Beverly Hills, CA
Sensational Betsey Johnson for Paraphernalia bubblegum pink backless dress dating back to the late 1960's. Almost immediately after graduating from college, Betsey Johnson made her first splash in the New York fashion industry by winning Mademoiselle magazine's Guest Editor Contest. Only one year later, in 1965, Johnson landed a job as a designer at Paraphernalia, an offbeat New York clothing boutique. Taking her cues from the more avant-garde London fashion scene, Johnson—along with designer Mary Quant and artist Andy Warhol—helped pioneer what became known as the Youthquake movement in fashion, art and culture. This seductive dress is fashioned from a glossy face weave, slippery satin rayon. I love the low plunging bias-cut bodice with dramatic backless design. This figure flattering garment accentuates the bust, skims the hip and flares out in such a flirty way!
