Geoffrey Beene

HI

ur clothes are awesome and they are so cute

He was a stunner! His style, art and vision remain. Thank you Mr G. Beene.

DEAR GEOFFERY,BEENE.
I AM A BEENE AND COME FROM
A LINE OF BEENE FAMILY HERE IN
SANDIEGO,CALIFORNIA.
I JUST WANTED TO FIND OUT IF THERE IS ANY BOOKS THAT WOULD BE BASS ON THE BEENE FAMILY.
AND HERE I CAME ACROSS YOUR WEB PAGE WEB SITE.

One day I was at Rizzoli's bookstore in The World Financial Ctr in lower Manhattan.
I was looking at a book about simplicity in which there were quotes from Mr. Beene.
As I turned to leave, there he was. I told him I was just reading his quotes and with a twinkle in his eye and a smirk he said "Don't believe any of it."
It made my day!

Hello. In 1977, a fellow by the name of Charlie Pipia introduced me to Geoffrey Beene Inc. I was given a job in the Piece Goods Dept, and was to learn from Arnold, and David Luttinger, the in's and out's of the "Rag Trade". I was only 19, and had no idea this industry even existed. I worked for Mr. Beene for 6 months. He once told me that if I worked for him for 10 years, that I would want for nothing financially. I handled garments that were appraised for many thousands of dollars, and also went to the bank and cashed petty cash checks for him. I was a silly kid, and did not know better. My grandmother, Marge was a faithful employee of Mr. Beenes for many years as a housekeeper for his many homes. Charlie Pipia was Mr.Beene's Dressmaker, and a great friend of my family to this day



Be well Geoffrey Beene,may your stay in Heaven be well and fruitful. I hope to see you there one day.

Our sympathies go out to the loved ones of Geoffrey Beene. While not knowng him personally, I have bought many of his shirts for my sons and they have been the best.

I recall in the eighties wearing mr. beenes "beenejean" pants and shirts. his grey flannel cologne is still a favorite of mine. it reminds me of walking through a winter forest after a fresh snow. mr. beene was definitely a man of class and distinction. I admired him very much and the good taste he brough to fashion.

Hi,



Just a guy from England who spends two weeks a year visiting the States to 'stock up' on workwear.

Ralph Lauren is good but a bit predictable (at least in the UK) where as Geoffrey Beene is fresh, funky in a kind of understated kind of way, and superb tailoring - I would much rather travel the 3K miles than the 50 for 'Saville Row' tailoring - I for one will sorely miss you, but thank you for all your designs, I hope yout house keep them up.



Best Regards,



Marcus Hender.

I recall in the 1970s when I sold menswear. I always enjoyed seeing the new lines come in from Geoffrey Beene collection. The colors were always fashionable and the style of the tailored shirts were so classic. I never met a man that didn't look good in Geoffrey Beene shirts. We lost a great designer in fashion. Mr. Beene and his wonderful collections are history.

Rest in peace

You've made a mark on so many and will be remembered. I am sorry there are no services to commemorate your life and work.

Your loved contributed so much to the world of high fashion. Thanks for a life well lived.

Your loved one has contributed much to the fashion world and will be truly missed by all. Like so many who have lost loved ones in death , we long to see them again. The scriptures give us the assurance that this thought will indeed become a reality. I encourage your family to read John 5: 28,29.

I didn’t know you personally, but I do buy all of my cloths from your store.

I like your policies you have in your stores. I only hope that they stay the same. I never shop anywhere else.



My condolence to the Beene family.

You will be sadly missed by many.

Your loss touches so many. Sympathy and prayers for your family.

You will be missed all over the world and in the small town of Haynesville you will be missed most of all.
