Silver on Black
February 16, 2010

Geoffrey Beene black and silver cocktail dress with lace overblouse.
The lace is from France, and was a favorite fabric of Mr. Beeneās, as lace does not wrinkle. Mr. Beene incorporated the lace design in his own design (in this case, the overblouse hem). The effect is a scalloped hem which shows the lace as it was woven.Russell Nardozza, Senior Vice President of Geoffrey Beene, LLC
