His work was of such powerful clarity, such complete complicity between form and function that it actually teaches us-as all works of art do-how to look. A defining American artist, Geoffrey Beene towers in his field.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePamela A. Parmal provides a chronological survey of Mr. Beene's career as a fashion designer and discusses the evolution of his work. Chapters focus on themes or influences-Woman, Body, Fabric, Comfort, Geometry, Sport, Culture-that were a constant source of inspiration to the designer. Beene won the attention and admiration of other artists, and here we see his work through the eyes of renowned photographers and illustrators, even filmmakers and choreographers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGeoffrey Beene died in September 2004, before this book could be published, but he was intimately involved with its creation, including the editing of the text, the photo selection, and the book design. The book itself is as tailored and soignée as Mr. Beene's couture, as it looks back at his long and distinguished career.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"VersoTypography v_U-oiq8 d_ix v_v82rYi\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"VersoTypography v_U-oiq8 VersoHeading v_PwKgaj\"\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"VersoFlex v_EhCXFo VersoColumn\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"VersoTypography v_U-oiq8 d_fb v_6iavb9\" id=\"_R_5sr2b5bsnpfiutb_\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"d_iw\"\u003eMarylou Luther is the editor of \u003ci\u003eThe International Fashion Syndicate\u003c\/i\u003e and the creative director for The Fashion Group International.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLaura Jacobs is the dance critic for \u003ci\u003eThe New Criterion\u003c\/i\u003e and a contributing editor at \u003ci\u003eVanity Fair\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePamela A.
