Aberdeen Archives Gallery & Museums holds the largest collection of work by internationally celebrated fashion designer Bill Gibb (1943- 1988).
Born in New Pitsligo, Aberdeenshire, and educated at Fraserburgh Academy, Gibb attended Central St Martin’s School of Art and the Royal College of Art, where fellow students included Zandra Rhodes and Ossie Clark.
Gibb collaborated closely with tailors, knitters and textile designers and his fantastical garments were adored by celebrities such as Twiggy, Bianca Jagger and Elizabeth Taylor.
This online symposium celebrates Gibb’s legacy, his innovative approaches to design, collaboration and manufacture, and his relationship with the north-east of Scotland.
