Rare Vintage 70s Bill Gibb London Wool Tunic Sweater Bell Sleeves Needs TLC. Will be a fabulous piece once it's repaired and brought back to its former glory!

A similar piece of his is in The Met! Bill Gibb was a Scottish fashion designer who became renowned in the 1960s and 70s for his unusual and flattering designs. Between 1969 and 1972, as a freelance designer, Gibb designed for the London fashion house Baccarat. In 1972 Gibb launched his own company, Bill Gibb Fashion Group, which ran until 1988, and in 1975 he opened his first shop in London, on Bond Street. Beatrix Miller of Vogue selected one of Gibb's designs for Baccarat, a pleated tartan skirt and printed blouse worn with a Kaffe Fassett knitted waistcoat, as the 1970 Dress of the Year.

[7] Gibb's design was described as the epitome of the new emerging trend for romantic eclecticism in British fashion design, as well as demonstrating how traditional handicrafts, such as hand-knits, were becoming acceptable for mainstream fashion. That same year, Harrods opened a dedicated area for Gibb's designs, calling it the "Bill Gibb Room", and the model Twiggy approached Gibb to create several historically-inspired dresses for her. She wore a "Renaissance" evening dress featuring printed textiles based on 1520s Hans Holbein drawings to the Daily Mirror's Fashion Celebrity Dinner in 1970.

Another gown made from various patterned textiles that Twiggy wore to the 1971 film première of The Boy Friend drew a great deal of media attention. It will need some serious TLC for the several moth holes, and one of the bell sleeves is stained. I tried to take photos of the more prominently damaged areas, but there are more holes. If you have skills to repair it, it will be beautiful!

Please don't hesitate to ask for more photos or for any questions. 17 pit to sleeve end. This item is in the category "Clothing, Shoes & Accessories\Women\Women's Clothing\Sweaters".
