A B O U T 

An elegant example of Geoffrey Beene’s refined late-20th-century minimalism, this 1980s two-piece ensemble pairs a luminous gold silk lamé blouse with a softly structured matching skirt. The blouse is cut with Beene’s signature restraint: a gently bloused silhouette, long sleeves with subtle volume, and a delicately textured silk lamé that catches the light with a quiet, fluid shimmer rather than overt shine. The focal point is the collar, adorned with an integrated gold lamé bow detail that adds sculptural interest and a touch of wit—an unmistakable Beene hallmark—while faceted gold-tone buttons provide a restrained, jewel-like accent down the front.

The coordinating skirt is high-waisted and finely pleated, with hidden pockets at the front, creating graceful movement and an elongated line through the body. Its clean construction balances the decorative elements of the blouse, resulting in a harmonious, architecturally thoughtful set. Together, the pieces exemplify Beene’s ability to merge luxury materials with intellectual design, favoring precision, proportion, and subtle drama over excess. A sophisticated and highly wearable example of American designer fashion from the 1980s, showcasing Geoffrey Beene’s enduring influence on modern elegance. In excellent condition, freshly cleaned and ready to wear.
