Geoffrey Beene
Universally recognized for his unparalleled craftsmanship and excellence in clothing design, Geoffrey Beene has maintained his strong, singular vision—unmoved by the whims of trends—throughout his 50 years in American fashion. Having originally studied medicine, he has a unique perspective on the human body and, throughout his career, has returned again and again to developing designs that enhance a woman’s figure. Always thoughtful and inventive, Beene shapes fabric and seam into seemingly simple forms that reveal the beauty of the female body without sacrificing freedom of movement. Among his many accomplishments, Beene has been honored by the Council of Fashion Designers of America on several occasions for his design innovations.
