About MeBill Gibb (1943-1988) was a Scottish fashion designer who became renowned in the 1960s and 70s for his designs. This fashion sketch shows a design for his 1980 Spring/Summer Couture Collection. The dress is very simple with broad borders at the top and the hem. The wrap has a fan-shaped/bee motif on the right side where it fastens on the shoulder, and a beaded pendant on each corner.
