Céline Riffs on Geoffrey Beene: New York-based magazine Garmento has posted a blog entry that points out similarities between a Geoffrey Beene coat from 2004 and one of Céline’s new designs for fall 2013. The resemblance between the two garments is uncanny, with both coats featuring knotted sleeves in the front. It’s so glaring in fact, that the overlap has been circulating amongst Paris’s fashion design elite. “I must say I was a little shocked,” Karl Lagerfeld told WWD of first seeing the discrepancy. A spokesperson for the Geoffrey Beene Foundation told WWD that Beene has “inspired designers over the past several years,” and that the coat which was “recreated by Céline in 2013, was a signature piece of Mr. Beene’s and a representation of how timeless his pieces were.” Céline had no comment on the matter.
