Betsey Johnson has spent decades making the case that getting dressed is a mood, not a mandate. In a new interview with The Zoe Report, the designer and a handful of women who count themselves among her admirers talk through exactly how that outlook has shaped the way they get dressed. The common thread: confidence and joy come first, occasion second. It is a philosophy this desk, built on tracking who wore what and when, can still tip its crown to from the sidelines.

With reporting from The Zoe Report.
