Designer Betsey Johnson is set to retire in September after her show, New York Magazine is reporting.
Apparently Johnson feels like she's been in the spotlight long enough, and her and her partner, Chantal Bacon, want to take it easy and travel for a while.
Johnson believes Eric Sartori, who previously designed for Vera Wang, Hervé Léger, and Azzedine Alaïa, will become the brand’s head designer.
Although she belives those designers might just be better than her, she will still come in as a consultant. "I’ll go in. I want to be like Ralph [Lauren]. Like, I always imagined the perfect life is like Ralph, where he goes in, and his wonderful expert crews show him work, and he goes, 'Love it, love it, love it, um, we’ll just put that aside for the moment, love it, love it, hmmm.' You know what I mean?" she said. "And be that — be the inspiration, the light at the end of the tunnel, the fairy godmother that comes down."
Johnson has spent most of her life working and is never less than thrilled about her work, however it will be a sad day for fashion when she retires.
