"Geoffrey Beene" The Book ... is published by Abrams Publishing
"Clothes should look as if a woman was born into them. It is a form of possession,
this belonging to one another" ... Geoffrey Beene.

In this autograph, Geoffrey Beene was able to send a message to you directly. He sent this to you
from his own hand ... "Lots of Love." |

Now for those who would like to
truly experience the amazing World of Geoffrey Beene, Abrams Publishing has an oversized coffee table book called simply "Geoffrey Beene" -- available in libraries and fine bookstores worldwide. We would also like to mention that what you see here is but only a small taste of the many designs contained in this book. Geoffrey Beene has been an inspiration to fashion designers and authors of the highest order. When we went to talk with Mr. Beene about the book, Geoffrey Beene said he wanted his book to be more about his fashion creations and not so much about him. It is exactly that. A total visual experience. |

When we went to see Geoffrey Beene he asked Richard Renda how Richard would like his copy of the
book Geoffrey Beene autographed. Richard answered Mr. Beene just like this: "To The People of the World." Geoffrey said, "To The People of the World ?" Richard said "yes." So this is what happened -- a moment in History. Forever preserved. |
|
During a 40 minute video taped
session the many faces of Geoffrey Beene came out. Expressions that few have ever seen. |

Very Special Thanks to Russell and Joyce.
Dear Geoffrey Beene -- we will miss you
much. Rest In Peace. You are not forgotten ! Forever Preserved ...
by Richard david Renda and
Laurie Schechter.
