The British Fashion Council described Betty Jackson as a "directional classicist."
Her designs are not "tailored" and more often than not, very easy going with lots of
softness and fluid movement.
In a 1997 interview with Elsa Klensch of CNN, Betty Jackson quoted, "
(My designs) are streamlined, I think rather than tailored. I really think that modern women want
that choice of softness or fluidity or versatility in clothes, and it's to do with how you put
different fabrics together, and it's much more simple I think than before."
For 2001, Betty Jackson has not changed that statement.
Her Spring 2001 collection featured easy-going pieces, with 1980's influence.
From tie-dyed knits to geometric prints, the emphasis was on the woman's freedom of
body movement.
