American designer Geoffrey Beene (1927鈥�2004) was respected throughout the American fashion industry for the high technical quality of his work and his innovative, modernist designs. Although very fashionable, Mr. Beene鈥檚 collections were never trendy and always original. He took an artist鈥檚 approach to turning two-dimensional fabric into a three-dimensional shape for the body and was considered a designer鈥檚 designer. Garments from the Museum鈥檚 collection will trace his 40-year career.
