Billy: Bill Gibb's Moment in Time

24 October 2008 - 18 January 2009

The Fashion and Textile Museum presents a retrospective of the work of one of the most creative designers of 20th Century London fashion.

A contemporary of Ossie Clark, Biba's Barbara Hulanicki and Zandra Rhodes, Bill Gibb created beauty and fantasy in 70s fashion. His extreme imagination on paper was translated into garments of an haute couture level. Gibb's signature was gowns of romantic and historical inspiration textured with print, pattern, embroidery, beadwork and leather. With Kaffe Fassett he elevated knitwear to an art form.

Exhibition opening hours:  Wednesday – Sunday, 11.00am to 6.00pm (last admission 5.15pm)
