Today, we raise a glass to quite possibly the most playful fashion designer in the business, Betsey Johnson! The quirky designer, who turns 72 today, has been working since the 1960s, and remains just as energetic and fun as ever -- especially when it comes to closing her own shows (see above for proof!). But Johnson isn't letting age slow her down. She most recently created a '90s-inspired capsule collection for Urban Outfitters and will be showcasing her new lines next month during Fashion Week. Here's to hoping we see even more cartwheels and splits from the bold designer!
Want a unique wardrobe a la Betsey Johnson's? Click through our gallery and stay fashion-forward by incorporating Fall/Winter 2014 trends into your summer wardrobe.

Animal Prints
Walk on the wild side! Next season is all about leopard spots and snakeskin. Integrate pieces with sandals and shorts, but to make the most of the trend, look for animal-print dresses that you can wear now and in the fall.

Minis
So long, floor-grazing dresses! Hike up your hems with zippy dresses that boast a flirty skater-style silhouette. Pair with sandals for the summer, and with boots when temps fall.

Menswear-Inspired
Suiting never goes out of style. Fall 2014 is all about chic tailored separates, oversize jackets, and pleated trousers. Make it work for warmer months with a paler color palette, lighter fabrics, and shorter hems.

Sporty Pants
Make drawstring joggers your new go-to. But to avoid looking as though you're actually heading to the gym, give yours a polished spin with a dressier top and fancier footwear (read: heels or brogues).
