A Bill Gibb striped woollen hooded jacket, Autumn-Winter, 1974-5 (Image courtesy of Kerry Taylor auctions)
Some of my favourite knitwear designs ever are by Bill Gibb, who in the 1970s was a contemporary of Biba, Ossie Clarke et al. I couldn't find a good image of his piano key cardigans which are the best.
This article is pretty good on the history of his designs, I don't profess to be an expert at all on his work but really like what I've seen of his designs! http://www.ltscotland.org.uk/Images/BillGibbLoRes_tcm4-374586.pdf
