American designer Geoffrey Beene is acclaimed worldwide for his originality of design, innovative use of fabrics, and unerring modernity over the course of some three decades. In this book, specially commissioned drawings of Beene's garments are paired with a fanciful, poetic text. Beginning with the deceptively simple question, "What is beauty?" readers are led on a whimsical journey that is all about searching for and seeing meaning in life - while exploring Beene's unique aesthetic.
