Object history
This ensemble belonged to former Geoffrey Beene model Catharina Tinniswood. She was both a show and fitting model for Beene in the late 1960s and early 1970s. The collection she kept was not the usual examples that were sold in stores but rather the actual garments included in catwalk shows and trunkshows at the beginning of each season.
