Before I ever think of a design I have to select the fabrics, so fabrics actually are the inspiration for any collection.
More Quotes from Geoffrey Beene:
Accessories are often incorporated into the clothing, rather than using much jewelry. I have some little leather collars that sort of stick up, ... They are separate and meet and they stand up and then there's a cord that comes around, and you just tie them on. The only jewelry we're using is like silver wire, which we have done in the studio, and making it in very abstract forms.Geoffrey Beene
The tops were one-shoulder cashmere sweaters and the skirts were the same silk satin that (artist John Singer) Sargent painted his women in. So it's seemingly very grand but the luxury is the comfort of it.
