Designers are very intriguing characters, I must say. Their entire lives are built upon deciding what is or isn't beautiful, and yet many of them are fashion disasters themselves. Just take a look at Mr. John Galliano. I'm sure you've got the point.

Betsey Johnson is another one of those strangely garish designers that dress themselves and their environment to look much tackier than their sold creations. Johnson's tackiness can be a bit of an exception though, because, at least when it comes to her home, she can make it work. Check out this spread that Elle Decoration did for Johnson's very pink, very retro-cool home. The mix of items is very eclectic and is wild enough to make it clear that she did it intentionally. When it comes to something as crazy as this, the envelope has to be pushed.

Despite the natural grimace that emerges on my face when I see so much soft pink, I don't think I would say no to living in this home. I mean, Johnson has a big Siouxsie Sioux glamor shot above her bed. Come on.
