"A women's designer for women. His customers include Elizabeth Taylor, Twiggy and the Duchess of Bedford. Yet when designer Bill Gibb, 34, came to London 18 years ago from Fraserburgh Scotland, people asked who would ever wear his extravagant creations. The answer was, nearly everybody who is anybody, and on November 18 7,000 people from the worlds of stage, screen, fashion and beauty paid tribute to a decade of Bill Gibb at a special show at London's Royal Albert Hall."
