This Betty Jackson halter neck crop top captures the playful, graphic side of her 80s and early 90s work, where print was used with a lightness of touch.
Cut from a soft cotton, the fabric sits gently against the body, with a shaped bust and a tied halter neckline that frames the shoulders cleanly. The print is a collage of motifs — stripes, florals, painterly blocks and illustrative details — a style Jackson returned to repeatedly during this period, giving her pieces a recognisable visual language.
The cropped length keeps it sharp and modern. It works exactly as you’d want it to: with cut-off denim, high-waisted trousers or layered under something more structured. There’s nothing overworked here, just a well-cut piece with a strong print doing the job.
