Since Tarr’s gift, the museum has acquired another 20 Beene pieces., done with the assistance of Authentic Brands Group, which bought the Geoffrey Beene trademark last year from PVH Corp.
Beene knew a lot about the human body, coming from a family of doctors. For three years he studied medicine at Tulane University in New Orleans before dropping out and moving to Los Angeles, where he studied fashion design for a while at the University of Southern California.

Many of these designs were created for Tarr and show Beene’s vision for a fully interchangeable wardrobe of jumpsuits, boleros, jackets and evening gowns.
