Betsey Johnson's label is about to turn 30, and to celebrate, the collaboration-happy owners of Opening Ceremony are releasing 35 pieces inspired by Johnson's designs. The collection will begin with Johnson's mid-60s label Paraphernalia and follow her career to the present day, but the looks won't be 100% authentic to the era—Opening Ceremony plans to update them with new patterns. Given Johnson's punky and slightly wacky aesthetic, this seems like an ideal match, not to mention a perfect 30th birthday present. We'll be looking out for it next fall, when it arrives in the LA store.
