About MeThroughout his career Gibb used all manner of animal materials including exotic furs such as silver fox, as well as extravagant feathers and soft supple leathers. His fashions were feminine and romantic and often inspired by the past. Some designs have an almost primitive quality or, in the case of this example, an ethnic or tribal element with the excessive use of animal skins and bead decoration.
