An essential volume for anyone who appreciates timeless, contemporary clothes and the inspiring figures behind them. In 1970, barely out of college for two years, Bill Gibb (1943-1988) was crowned "Designer of the Year" by British Vogue . Though Gibb's prolific career was sadly short-lived, the legacy of his visionary work continues to influence designers from Giles Deacon to John Galliano. This lavishly illustrated volume features many previously unpublished photographs that showcase Gibb's hallmarks: a love of romance, soaring flights of fancy, and a devil-may-care dynamic that resulted in wildly eccentric combinations of checks, tartans, stripes, floral prints, and Fair Isle knits that had never been seen before. A stunning exploration of the themes and historical imagery that inspired Gibb's designs, this book traces an astonishing career from Gibb's breakout debut to his final catwalk show.
