Audrey Belloir
Store Manager - London, UK
London is an amazing city! For me coming from a small village in the French Alps life changed radically. I moved to London seven years ago and fell in love with the English capital and culture!
The city evolves all the time with new places, new styles emerging! It is of course a very busy place but the choice is yours. You can either have a quiet wonder in one the fantastic parks or immerge yourself in the shopping area of Covent Garden. This is my favorite area of London and working here with Betsey Johnson is fabulous. The store is located in the heart of Covent Garden which is a mix of independent boutiques and market where you can spend hours looking for Antiques, the best theatres of London and an eclectic choice of bars and restaurants (being French I do appreciate good food and of course good wine!) all this surrounded by a traditional English architecture.
London is fun, divers, surprising, full of history and culture and that is all I love to do during my spare time!
Kind regards

Meg Dismuke
Store Manager - East 60th, NYC
Raised on an exotic island off the coast of New Jersey, Meg learned to mix high fashion, eco-chic style, and a true passion for saving the world - one crinoline skirt at a time. In between recycling bottles and skipping around in her glitter polly’s, Meg and the East 60th team, Massiel, Nina, Laura and Alex bring the same super crazy energy and excitement to their customers that Betsey brought to the store when she first opened it 31 years ago! Stop by and get all gussied up! (Insert cartwheel here)

Andrea Beaulieu
Assistant Manager - Soho, NYC
Hello fellow pink ladies!
My name is Andrea Beaulieu and I've been lucky enough to be a pink lady for the past year! I moved to New York six years ago to attend the Fashion Institute of Technology as a Fashion Merchandising major....And I can't see myself living anywhere else. I love being the assistant manager at the SoHo location because of the upbeat atmosphere and the craziness galore! Being here has made me be more creative with my own wardrobe as well as assisting clientele in finding their inner Betsey girl! I hope to be a part of this wonderful pink world for many years to come!
Xoxo, Andrea B

It was a Saturday morning unlike any other, when I sprung out of bed and shimmied into my finest tea party dress. We may have caught some attention as we burst through the double doors at the Aventura mall, armed with a giant bouquet of pink roses, pink cupcakes, and one pink balloon shy of being lifted off the ground. As we ascended the escalator decked out in the most extravagant layers of ruffles and pearls, it was plain to see where we were headed. A great hush fell over a dolled-up crowd as a fashion icon strolled into the room. Standing barely 5 feet tall and donning her famous Marilyn tee, was the glamorous queen bee herself, Betsey Johnson! After the last song had played and the final picture had been snapped, it was my turn!
I have been a proud member of the Betsey Johnson Pink Ladies (and Gents) for almost one year now and it’s hard to believe how much I was missing out on before. We are the most passionate group of stylists dedicated to everything fun and fabulous – which is coincidently, everything Betsey! Reading at the beach, morning jogs and playing backgammon at the botanical gardens are just a few of my lazy day indulgences. I love Film Festivals, Art Basel Miami, visiting my husband’s family in Reykjavik, the Florida Keys Seafood Festival and Cirque Du Soleil performances that roll into town. The last book I read was the autobiography of Patti Boyd and I enjoy listening to everything from Bob Dylan to MIA. Before I came to Betsey I was on the editorial staff of a high end fashion and lifestyle magazine, immersed in the world of fine art, pop culture and high fashion. In college I studied literary and poetic analysis along with art. I enjoy oil painting, photography, and mixed media instillation art as well as visiting local galleries and shops dedicated to interior design. Big kisses and special thanks to my amazing parents for buying me my very first Betsey dress when I was 12 years old! |

Sales Associate - Toronto, Canada
Betsey Johnson has been a part of my life since I can remember. In fact I still have my mom's vintage Betsey pieces she wore when I was little. I have been working at the Toronto location for just over a year. Prior to that (just after graduating high school) I got an internship at head office in the design department. To this day I consider that one of my most treasured experiences. I ended up assisting with two Bryant Park fashion shows which was a total dream come true. Working with Betsey everyday was so much fun, especially after admiring her for so many years.
Something I have come to realize from working for the company is that nearly every woman I meet has a story about their treasured Betsey Piece(s), from my doctor (she wore a dress in 1991 to her son's Bar Mitzvah and still has it) to my mom traveling all the way to New York City in the 80's to buy Betsey Johnson (it wasn't available in Toronto). I love that not only are the pieces I have memorable, but when I wear them there is always a story, or event associated with them. When I think of my first fashion show, my sixteenth and twenty-first birthday, prom, living in New York, my first break-up, my first drink, my moms vintage hand-me-downs, new years eve, my grandfathers funeral, meeting Liza Minnelli, I think of Betsey Johnson. Whether the event good or bad Betsey Johnson has become a large part of my life, even my identity. I hope to one day pass down my Betsey pieces, just like my mom did, but until them I'm content on enjoying them all to myself!
