I cant remember which doyenne said "B for Bill Gibb" & thereby gave him his minor signature, but one can read it in his long overdue & not long enough fashion bio, available on Amazon or Alibris or ABEBooks, preferably from a used bookdealer. However, I do know that this is one of the nicest examples incorporating that trademark that I have yet seen [dig those sleeves, dig that cut, dig that gathering, that trim]--& oh, how I wish it were not eight hundred bucks. For one whose blood runs richer than does mine, sadly.

The International Herald Tribune here [hosting this slideshow] considers Mr Gibb [RIP, like @least half of half of anyone who was anyone interesting before anyone really knew about--] a Forgotten Hero. Not hardly. He's my favorite, anyway & has been for years. I only wish I were old enough to have at least seen, if not been able to afford, his stuff--when. Long time gone now. PS. These are good, there are better. I'll keep looking.

Some of my favourite Ossie pieces haven't been the prints, or even the most unusual fabrics and colours. Nothing quite beats a Little Black Ossie frock, especially when it's one as drop-dead sexy as this. It's not a style you'll see very often, with the scalloped satin trim around a scandalously deep keyhole neckline - tied as loosely as you want at the neck. The darts at the top ensure fit at the bust, but then it flows more freely to the floor. The arms are concealed in billowing full length sleeves and buttoned cuffs. Ossie really knew about how to make something so revealing in one place, but appear demure through concealment elsewhere. It's a true showstopper of a dress, a scalloped scandale! Bust: 36" / Waist: 28" / Hips: 36" / 60" Label:Ossie Clark for Radley / Colour:black / Fabric:moss crepe Condition:Excellent Flaws:None noted. Sold as vintage. £595

Superb knitted ensemble by Bill Gibb (with the pattern, as ever, designed by Kaffe Fassett) in a luscious burnt orange with a very wintry pattern. Gibb was famed for his knitted sets, but a really amazing and wearable piece is a lot rarer and I personally think this is one of the best. The proportions are well balanced, the cardigan is given an 'edge' with the ties which tie the sides and down the front. I also love the pleated vent in the back, which is perfectly aligned to the pattern. Fairly freesize due to the style - tagged as a 'Medium' and I would say this was about right. Top measures 46" flat across the bust, length is 28", skirt length is 30", and the elasticated waist on the skirt goes up to 34". Label: Bill Gibb / Colour: orange with pattern / Fabric: pure new wool Condition: Excellent / Flaws: Has been gently cleaned. Sold as vintage. £245
