SATC's Carrie Bradshaw once said: "Every year the women of New York leave the past behind and look forward to the future... this is known as Fashion Week."

Well, sorry to break it to ya, Carrie, but you're kind of wrong! NYFW is about seeing the crazy antics of designer Betsey Johnson.

Yes, it may be chilly in NYC but Betsey Johnson turned up the heat - literally - by having two buff firefighters join her on the catwalk. LOVE HER.

She also walked the runway with her daughter and her granddaughters, and, wait for it, showed off her usual cartwheel move, but finished off with the splits.

Talking about her collection, which featured lots of sequins, fluorescent colours and short mini-skirts, Betsey said she was inspired by the likes of Beyoncé, Katy Perry and Rihanna.

"They really inspired me - I mean that's my kind of clothing. It's devoted and dedicated to my rock 'n' roll girl," she told reporters backstage.
