Betsey Johnson has decided not to participate in New York’s Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in February 2009. Instead, she will be presenting her collection out of her showroom (which will cost her 50% less).

It’s only speculation right now, however it’s been said that she is likely to design a capsule collection for either Target or H&M for Fall 2009.

Looks like she’ll be among all the other big time designers that have had the opportunity to design a recession-friendly line for mega box retailers!
