"I am more like an artist than a clothing designer," he said [more or less] soon before he died. Absolutely, one must concur two decades later. If a perfect cross can be made from the comingling of art, craft & design, Mr Gibb must take its eternal crown. From a well deserved, too belated retrospective at the Fashion Museum in Bath, one which began last month [1008] & will run for one year [to end in 1009].

Considerably better than average artisan piece, available online & unexpectedly at Yoox. Artisan work, as often unsigned, made in or around 1971, quintessentially representative of late 60s/early 70s crafts movement, cultural stuff which intersected not infrequently w/ the back to the land business of the same era.

Description, from Fashiondig: Glamorous! This lavish white silver beaded sleeveless tank gown, by Bonwit Teller, has every inch adorned with exquisite beading, which is sewn in vertical lines, using silver bugle beads. The bottom five inches along the hemline are beaded in a starburst pattern. Among the beadwork 3 tiered pearl beads flap and crystal rhinestones shimmer. From the empire waist the gown falls straight, softly hugging curves. The back, though simple in design, is dramatic. The beaded tank straps cut away a v in the back, making it oh so glamorous! This gown has a centered zipper in the lining and the beaded overlay uses hook and eyes to close over the top of the zipper. Measurements: Dress: 34-36-38''; Front Length: 43''; Back Length: 41 1/2''; Zipper: 14 1/4''; Side Seam: 43 1/2'' Empire Waist: 28'' Condition Guidelines Condition: Excellent
