Geoffrey Beene began his career in the 1950s, designing under numerous New York houses including Teal Traina, finally opening his own label in 1963. Beene was incredibly conscious of the human body, and was particularly regardful of the figure in motion - as Beene once said“clothing is nothing until it hits the body." His designs were created to work with the client’s body, encasing it lightly and giving it a more artful structure. Beene's reinterpretations of dress formality, use of synthetics, and unusual combination of materials (accessories in acrylic and diamonds, for example), set him aside from his contemporaries who focused on the business of fashion, rather than the artistry of fashion.

This cotton scarf by Gucci is simply divine! Bold, warm oranges and yellow flowers pop against a deep brown background, encircled by a red and white (oh Gucci!) border. The bold color palette paired with the Pop - Art print style of the flowers is astounding, and brings to mind Andy Warhol's brilliant "Flowers" series.
A spectacular scarf that would be suitable hung up on a wall, wrapped around your shoulders, or worn as a dress while you stroll down South Beach.
