		Beene recognized a woman’s need to be strong and understood her wardrobe choices as reflective of her self-image; he designed to anticipate a woman’s every move.
		Today, Geoffrey Beene couture is presented in the current season at the company’s headquarters on 57th Street in New York City, under the direction of Beene protégé and design director Einar Holiloekk.

		Drawing from Beene's own archives, she has brought together 35 garments, on mannequins, that span the past three decades.
		Beene accomplishes this entertainingly in a jumpsuit whose zipper runs from the back of the left shoulder, across and down to behind the right ankle.

	Guardian Unlimited Shopping \| Clothes. \| Geoffrey Beene
		Geoffrey Beene, the American fashion designer who has died aged 77, loved movement and adored bodies in action; he once sent a friend newspaper clippings with photos of baseball players swinging bats or pouncing after balls.
		The daring work was subsidised by a cheaper line, Beene Bag, introduced in 1974, and by royalties from discreet licensing deals for men's shirts and colognes (many women wear his Gray Flannel fragrance - it doesn't disturb the office's hormonal balance).
		Beene claimed: "I love standards but I don't mind break ing rules", and through the late 1980s and 1990s, his designs became even lighter, magically suspended over or against rather than on the body - you had to approach close to work out how they stayed up.

		Outspoken and opinionated, Beene foresaw the rise of the status handbag and decline of the amazingly executed dress.
