Let's kick it off with this.
As Hobo mentioned, GBS does make use of historical patterns. I think its important to remember that there is a great deal of research and development that goes into recreating pieces from say the 18th century and maintaining the essence or spirit of that piece as an homage to masters passed....all while updating it with not just the correct fabric selections, but the treatments thereof, to bring it back to the table with new found relevance in our "modern" time and for the future as well.
I'm a sucker for excellent hand work as it provides garments with characteristics that are unique to each piece. And Geoffrey's work has more than the mass majority of other designers out there and it is quality. Hand dyed for calibrated color and hand washed to bring out the supple qualities of a fabric. These are not easy production tasks yet all his work is produced with the same attention, dedication of time and love.
