About MeBill Gibb (1943-1988) was a Scottish fashion designer who became renowned in the 1960s and 70s for his designs. The dresses in this fashion sketch for Hershelle are all ankle-length and three of them have a swagged hem which is pulled up to the hip on the left side. Another dress is marked with the name 'Rula' and has an asymmetrical shoulder detail which has been overdrawn with a pencilled corsage.
