About MeBill Gibb (1943-1988) was a Scottish fashion designer who became renowned in the 1960s and 70s for his designs. This fashion design is from his 1980 Spring/Summer Indian Embroideries Couture Collection. It shows ethnic embroideries outlines, and one skirt in particular has a pointed hem with a teardrop pendant bead attached. The necklines are mostly low-cut, but an exception is the top left dress design which has a very high sleeveless front with side bands around the chest.
