Design by Bill Gibb for a printed leather and suede pattern jacket with a hood. The patterns seem influenced by ethnic designs. Other designers in the late 1970s started to use a mixture of different fabrics and colours (leather, chiffon). This design is a good example of how leather was processed in a more fashionable and colourful way during this period.

Bill Gibb launched his own label in the early 1970s, with instant success.
