Fabulous Fall 1978 Geoffrey Beene Runway Oversized Mohair Blanket Cocoon Coat z-archive-yvessaintlaurent The skirt also has borders

The skirt also has borders worked into the print that separate out the top from the bottom and give it visual interest

The cotton is light weight and there are some very minor variations and discoloration in the shade of green here and there - I feel this is a combination of natural patina and the fabric choice used (its hand dyed)

Item# DD2260

The front is made of silk cord that is knotted and swirled

He launched his label in 1963 and a piece from his very first collection landed on the cover of Vogue. A Coty award followed a year later. In 1984 the Council of Fashion Designers created the annual Geoffrey Beene Lifetime Achievement award in honor of Beene's fashion legacy. We will be happy to find runway photos of this
